The New Images by Euclid Mission

The European Space Agency (ESA) and NASA's Euclid Mission has released new images that showcase the space telescope's ability to explore dark matter and dark energy.

What are Dark Matter and Dark Energy?

According to NASA, dark matter is an invisible substance five times more common in the universe than regular matter but with an unknown composition. Dark energy, on the other hand, is the name given to the unknown source causing the universe to expand faster and faster.

The Significance of New Images

The new images demonstrate Euclid’s ability to unravel the secrets of the cosmos and enable scientists to hunt for rogue planets, use lensed galaxies to study mysterious matter and explore the evolution of the Universe, the ESA said.
