Euclid

Jointly with ESA the Euclid Consortium has been planning, constructing and will be running the Euclid Dark Universe mission, that has been launched on 1 July 2023. Mapping the extragalactic sky over 6+ years will provide unprecedented data to give new insight on the nature of dark energy and dark matter.

ESA’s Euclid space telescope is the biggest step forward towards solving this fundamental problem in physics: it is designed to reveal the nature of the dark constituents, as well as of gravity itself, by measuring with unprecedented precision the growth of structure over most of cosmic time. To do so, it will collect high-quality images at optical and near-infrared wavelengths of about two billion galaxies and measure emission-line redshifts for tens of millions of galaxies.
