Armed with a 1.2 m diameter telescope, it will observe a few billion galaxies in the distant early universe, mapping around a third of the universe in unique accuracy.than any ground-based telescope.
“The beauty of Euclid is that it covers large regions of the sky in great detail and depth, and can capture a wide range of different objects all in the same image—from faint to bright, from distant to nearby, from the most massive of galaxy clusters to small planets,” said ESA Director of Science, Prof. Carole Mundell. “We get both a very detailed and very wide view all at once.”showcases many features caused by gravitational lensing, including the giant arc of a distant red galaxy.
