ArticleBody:On Thursday, the European Space Agency’s Euclid space mission released five new views of our universe. These new images show an array of far-flung cosmic objects in much closer detail than we have previously seen. “The images obtained by Euclid are at least four times sharper than those we can take from ground-based telescopes,” wrote the ESA in a press release.
Euclid/Euclid Consortium/NASA, image processing by J.-C. Cuillandre , G. Anselmi. Messier 78 is a vibrant star nursery about 1,300 light years away from Earth. It is enveloped in interstellar dust that forms stars–shown in the bright reds and pinks. It has been imaged before, but Euclid’s infrared camera was able to see hidden regions of star formation for the first time. It mapped out some of the complex filaments of gas and dust, uncovering some newly formed stars and planets.
