• Second anniversary of Euclid in space

    Second anniversary of Euclid in space

    It was a hot morning at Cape Canaveral in Florida, on July 1st, 2023, two years ago today. It was the first morning of the 3rd quarter of the year, the earliest possible launch day for Euclid. Late at night there had been some last minute work on the launcher and at 3AM the rocket apparently had still been lying horizontally, but a few hours later it could be seen standing upright with Euclid on top, sheltered by an ESA- and Euclid-themed fairing. The launch was on!

    Euclid finds complete Einstein Ring in NGC galaxy

    Gravitational lenses are rare in the sky – galaxies bending the light-paths of light from other galaxies behind them to form distorted or even multiple images. Even rarer is a perfect alignment of the two galaxies with us, the obervers, with the light being bent into a so-called Einstein Ring. And the rarest case was now observed by Euclid: this happening in an extremely nearby NGC galaxy.

    What an exciting year this was for Euclid and the Euclid Consortium! In February Euclid’s surveys have officially started, the first 14 ‘Early Release Observation’ outreach and early science images have been made public, and now the consortium and ESA are gearing up for the first ‘Q1’ data release of 53 deg² to the world.

    Discover Space Warps with the Euclid Space Telescope! The Euclid Consortium and the Zooniverse team are excited to launch a new Space Warps project, ‘Space Warps – ESA Euclid’, to find strong gravitational lenses in Euclid survey images. You can contribute to identifying systems that bend the fabric of space itself. Excited?
