Our thoughts are with our colleagues across Spain and France, as well as the emergency services teams battling these catastrophic #wildfires.

Euclid Consortium@ec-euclid.bsky.social · 2w ago

West of @science.esa.int's space astronomy center #ESAC Spain's major #wildfires are raging, threatening towns and people's livelihood. Fires are out of control and further development will depend on weather. We hope that people stay safe and hope #Spain gets all the support it needs. 🔭

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 👉 www.esa.int/Science_Expl...

#Euclid scientists identified 31 new early Universe quasars, including the two most distant quasars currently known. The new record holder's redshift z=7.77 places it only 670 million years after the Big Bang. www.euclid-ec.org/most-distant... #ESA #ESAEuclid #astronomy #blackholes #science

Euclid scientists discover most distant known quasars

Quasars are growing super-massive black holes, they are the most powerful continuous energy sources in the Universe. Quasars are a key to understanding the formation of structure in the early Universe...

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.

60 million stars in just one image 🤯 @esa.int's Euclid mission has just released the most detailed visible light image ever of our galaxy's centre. See this image up close and meet some of the scientists behind it at our #SummerScience Exhibition next week: eucliduk.net/rssse.html

No less than 60 million stars in one image. It's possible thanks to ESA's 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

A dense field of tiny stars fills this square image taken by the European Space Agency’s Euclid space telescope. The lower and central areas are dominated by bright yellow and gold colours, forming a textured background similar to fine glitter or sand. Dark brown and black patches cut irregularly through the yellow regions, like ink stains or clouds of smoke. Toward the upper left, the colours shift to purple and reddish tones, blending gently into the surrounding star field. Small blue points of light are scattered across the image.

A year ago, #Euclid's first small data release 'Q1' provided data for 63 deg² of sky to the world. Now an 'Astronomy & Astrophysics Special Issue' has been published with 41 articles about and around this release: www.euclid-ec.org/q1-special-i... #astronomy #ESA #ESAEuclid #space #galaxies

Euclid Q1 special issue of Astronomy & Astrophysics

All results from the Euclid mission as well as a lot of reports, tests, and predictions are published as peer reviewed articles in scientific journals. The vast majority of almost 300 papers written b...

Erm... I might have just got a little bit too carried away on the BBC World Service, waxing lyrical about the gorgeousness of the @ec-euclid.bsky.social image of the heart of the Milky Way: "swirling golden cloudy fuzziness" "the cosmos scattered with glitter" 😂 ☺️🔭 📷: www.esa.int/Science_Expl...

🤩 Gorgeous image drop from @ec-euclid.bsky.social! 60 million stars = (roughly) >60 million exoplanets too.... Anyone else gazing at this image wondering what might be out there gazing back? 🤗 🥳 Huge congratulations to @science.esa.int and the whole Euclid team! 🧪🛰️🔭
