  • The Euclid telescope, launched by the European Space Agency, has produced its first test images after 11 years of development.
  • Equipped with advanced cameras, Euclid aims to construct the largest 3D map of the universe and observe up to 2 billion galaxies.
  • The images showcase countless galaxies and stars and will help study dark matter and dark energy, which make up 95% of the universe.
  • Euclid's visible light and infrared instruments will determine the distance, mass, and chemical compositions of observed galaxies.
  • The mission hopes to revolutionize physics and uncover the mysteries surrounding dark matter and dark energy.
