The Euclid, which was launched in July of this year, captured incredible images of the ‘Perseus galaxy cluster,’ the ‘spiral galaxy IC 342,’ the ‘globular cluster NGC 6397,’ the ‘irregular galaxy NGC 6822,’ and the ‘Horsehead Nebula.’

This European mission, with contributions from NASA, plays a crucial role in the investigation of the dark universe. The Euclid is capable of observing galaxies located approximately 10 billion light-years away, exploring most of our universe, composed of dark matter and dark energy, and creating the largest 3D cosmic map ever made.

Never before has a telescope been able to create such sharp astronomical images and peer so far into the distant and little-known universe. These images will not only help uncover these cosmic secrets but also contribute to the understanding of the physics of individual stars and galaxies.
