If you are in the London/UK area right now, #Euclid has an interactive exhibition at the @royalsociety.org's #SummerScience exhibition. Open until Sunday 5 July. See you there! #ESAEuclid #astronomy #space #research

Euclid, the dark universe has arrived at the @royalsociety.org's #SummerScience exhibition! Our team of scientists, engineers and public engagement professionals, ranging from undergraduate students to senior professors, will be here until Sunday...

A group photo of today's team at the Euclid, the dark universe detective exhibit. In the foreground is a  1:8 scale model of the Euclid space telescope, facing toward the camera. Behind in the middle of the area are 8 volunteers in white Euclid t-shirts, all smiling. Surrounding them are colourful interpretation boards of Euclid images and interactives.

Would you like to rummage data from the Euclid space telescope, and uncover cosmic nurseries where stars like our Sun are born? We're delighted to announce our new @ec-euclid.bsky.social @zooniverse.bsky.social citizen science project, Galaxy Zoo Clump Scout 2 🧪🔭 www.zooniverse.org/projects/hug...

Galaxy Zoo: Clump Scout II | Zooniverse - People-powered research

Correct machine predictions to reveal the shapes of stellar nurseries!

Today the Euclid space telescope team are launching a new search for Space Warps! Come and be the first to find warps in space and time in Euclid's unseen Data Release 1, before the DR1 publication in October @ec-euclid.bsky.social 🧪🔭 www.zooniverse.org/projects/apr...

Space Warps - ESA Euclid | Zooniverse - People-powered research

Elusive strongly lensed galaxies are waiting to be discovered!

The project will of course continue. Yannick's support team, his deputy, the board and its chair, and our contacts at ESA will continue to work to ensure that the mission continues, as he would certainly have wanted. Sadly, Francis Bernadeau (EC Deputy Lead) and Marc Sauvage (Chair EC Board) 3/3

Those of us who have been here the longest know how hard he worked to make Euclid a success. He became its embodiment, working tirelessly to ensure its success; we owe him an immense debt of gratitude, and we will surely have the opportunity to reflect in detail on all that we owe him. 2/3

Let me tell you, our officially-not-an-X-ray-telescope #ESAEuclid did notice this flare. Very much so. A gazillion cosmic ray hits, plus a shadow of hardware where the instruments aren't fully X-ray shielded. I mean this was the 39th (?) strongest flare in 30 years.

Whoa. The scale of this thing. That blast wave radiating away from the flare location is impressive. Esp. when you think about the size of the Earth in comparison. It’s so very near that we live so close to a star and can watch its behaviour and activity. A star and it’s just right there!

Here is the X5.1 flare in straight EUV light. We are looking at the 193 Å "gold" filter here. The flare is the bright flash, and immediately, you can see a giant blast wave racing through the Sun's corona, lifting tons of plasma into space as an Earth-directed CME.
