Hallo C/2026 S1 (Euclid), nice to see you!
. @ESA_Euclid discovers its first comet ☄️ That's quite impressive for a #DarkUniverse detective 🕵️ meant to take deep, steady images of distant galaxies, not fast-moving tiny objects. Discover more about the comet 👉 esa.int/Science_Exploration/…

Our space telescope Euclid has discovered 31 ancient quasars in the early Universe, including the two oldest ever observed. Their light has travelled for more than 13 billion years, taking us back to when the cosmos was just 5% of its current age. 🌌 Read more 👉 esa.int/Science_Exploration/…

Il telescopio spaziale @ESA_Euclid ha identificato 31 antichissimi quasar. Due di essi risalgono a quando l’Universo aveva 670 milioni di anni – appena il 5% della sua età attuale.

I quasar sono le galassie piu' lontane a noi note, che emettono una enorme quantita' di energia dalla regione nucleare. Per saperne di più su questo nuovo studio di @ESA_Euclid esa.int/Science_Exploration/… @esascience

A 3rd launch anniversary gift for you! 🎁 📹 In just 26 hours, @ESA_Euclid imaged millions of stars at the heart of our galaxy 🤩 Hidden among them are planets we cannot see. Yet, thanks to gravity and chance alignment, we can detect their presence. How? 👇 youtube.com/watch?v=O6S0nO1n…

New @ESA_Euclid image drop! This cut out is from the largest high-resolution photo ever taken of the centre of our galaxy in visible light. 📸 Euclid is imaging vast swathes of the sky to help explore dark matter and energy, with an instrument onboard funded by us. 🌌
No less than 60 million stars in one image. It's possible thanks to the @ESA_Euclid mission. For just one day, Euclid turned its gaze to the crowded heart of the Milky Way and captured the largest, most detailed photo ever taken of our galaxy's centre in visible light. Let's dive deeper 👇 1/8

Maar liefst 60 miljoen sterren op één foto. Dit is mogelijk dankzij de @ESA_Euclid-missie. Gedurende slechts één dag richtte Euclid zijn blik op het drukke hart van de Melkweg en legde de grootste, meest gedetailleerde foto vast die ooit in zichtbaar licht van het centrum van ons sterrenstelsel is gemaakt. Laten we er dieper op ingaan
