Dark energy hunter, Euclid Space Telescope’s first images have scientists over the moon!

[ad_1] The development of the Euclid Space Telescope took years of research and collaboration across the globe to develop an instrument that can study dark energy. Euclid is a European mission, built and operated by European Space Agency, with contributions from the US space agency NASA. Recently, the first trial of Euclid Telescope was taken, in which it captured beautiful images that mark its capabilities of accomplishing the main objective of its development. With the trial run, scientists are confident about the telescope and its instruments. “After more than 11 years of designing and developing Euclid, it's exhilarating and enormously emotional to see these first images. It's even more incredible when we think that we see just a few galaxies here, produced with minimum system tuni...

SpaceX launches Euclid telescope to hunt for clues to universe’s darkest secrets

[ad_1] A European space telescope blasted off Saturday on a quest to explore the mysterious and invisible realm known as the dark universe.SpaceX launched the European Space Agency's Euclid telescope toward its ultimate destination 1 million miles (1.5 million kilometers) away, the Webb Space Telescope's neighborhood. It will take a month to get there and another two months before it starts its ambitious six-year survey this fall. Flight controllers in Germany declared success nearly an hour into the flight, applauding and shouting “Yes!” as the telescope phoned home after a smooth liftoff. “I'm so thrilled, I'm so excited to see now this mission up in space, knowing it is on its way,” the European Space Agency's director general, Josef Aschbacher, said from the Florida launch site.Name...

What is the mysterious and hidden Dark Energy that NASA, ESA have joined forces to tackle

[ad_1] Dark energy, and dark matter, take us into a world of the invisible universe that is very much there, but we cannot observe it. And it is bigger than the observable universe! And now, NASA and ESA are tackling this mysterious force right in earnest to reveal its hidden secrets. According to NASA, dark energy and dark matter are an invisible form of matter that make up most of the universe's mass and creates its underlying structure. 68% of the universe is dark energy, and the rest 27% is dark matter which leaves only 5% of the universe that includes our Earth, Sun, planets, and all that we have observed so far. Shocking, right?Over the years scientists have been trying to thoroughly investigate the matter that surrounds us. but no solid explanations emerged. However, to solve the...

Euclid Mission: Bringing the dark universe to light

[ad_1] The Euclid mission, being undertaken by the European Space Agency (ESA), aims to illuminate the hidden aspects of our universe. It is expected to shed light on two enigmatic forces known as dark matter and dark energy. These entities, which remain undetectable through direct observation, exert significant influence on the behavior of galaxies, their rotation, and the expansion of the universe itself.To gain a deeper understanding of the nature of dark matter and dark energy, scientists require an instrument capable of closely examining the impact these forces have had on galaxies, galaxy clusters, and the overall expansion of the universe. And Euclid has emerged as the ideal solution for this pursuit. By generating a comprehensive 3D map of the universe, with the added dimension ...
