Euclid’s Stunning 208-Gigapixel Cosmic Map: A Glimpse Into the Dark Universe! #EuclidMission #Cosmic
Step into the future of space exploration with ESA’s Euclid mission! On October 15, 2024, the Euclid telescope unveiled a breathtaking 208-gigapixel mosaic, mapping a massive 132 square degrees of the Southern Sky in never-before-seen detail. Captured over just two weeks, this mosaic is only 1% of what Euclid will achieve during its six-year journey, which aims to create the largest 3D map of the universe ever made.
Containing over 100 million stars and galaxies, this stunning image helps scientists explore one of the greatest cosmic mysteries: dark matter and dark energy. With Euclid’s ability to map galaxy shapes, movements, and distances up to 10 billion light-years away, this groundbreaking mission will shed light on the unseen forces that govern the expansion of our universe.
In this video, we’ll take you on a deep dive into Euclid’s awe-inspiring mosaic, zooming in on spiral galaxies, interacting galaxy clusters, and dim clouds of galactic cirrus—unveiling the incredible detail hidden within the vast cosmos. Discover how this mission will revolutionize our understanding of the universe, and see the first step towards building the most detailed cosmic map in history!
Stay tuned for more as Euclid continues its journey into the dark universe!
