Euclid space telescope aims to map over one-third of the nighttime sky to better understand dark matter and dark energy, uncovering hidden regions of star formation in unprecedented detail.
Euclid's instruments can detect objects just a few times the mass of Jupiter and reveal over 300,000 new objects in a single field of view.
The image featured in the post shows the Messier 78 object, a star nursery 1,300 light-years from Earth, captured shortly after Euclid's launch in July 2023.
Euclid's infrared camera exposes hidden regions of star formation, maps complex filaments of gas and dust, and uncovers newly formed stars and planets, providing valuable insights into the universe.
