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!

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.
