Successfully launched on 1 July 2023, the European Space Agency´s (ESA) Euclid is an ambitious mission designed to unveil the composition and evolution of the dark Universe.
Euclid will create the largest, most accurate 3D map of the Universe ever produced across space and time by observing billions of galaxies out to 10 billion light-years.
The space telescope will explore how the Universe has expanded and how structure has formed over cosmic history, revealing more about the role of gravity and the nature of dark energy and dark matter.
