The European Space Agency's Euclid telescope, launched in 2023, has released its first data, advancing its mission to chart one-third of the sky over six years. Hovering 1.5 million kilometers from Earth, it aims to unveil the mysteries of dark energy and dark matter, which compose 95% of the universe yet remain largely unexplained. While the initial release only covers 0.5% of its intended observations, it represents progress in capturing detailed 3D mappings of galaxies and the universe's expansion rate, prompting optimism among researchers for future insights.
