The “European Space Agency (ESA) was sent into space last year”EuclidThe space telescope named ” has performed a rare work. The images obtained by this telescope show the exact 208 gigapixels An atlas has been made. There are more than 14 million galaxies and tens of millions of stars in the atlas.
Moreover, this unique atlas is still in its early stages. According to the statements made, Euclid’s purpose was only 12 percent of managed to achieve. So in the future the scope of the atlas created will be expanded. ESA plans to publish the final version of the project around March 2025. When that day comes, we talked about today of a much bigger picture what we will talk about.
Here is a small portion of the atlas created by Euclid:
In the image above you see a small part of the 208 gigapixel atlas. to earth 420 million light years Two distant galaxies named ESO 364-G035 and G036 welcome us on the left side of the image. On the right, from Earth 678 million light years There is a distant cluster of galaxies called Abell 3381.
ESA has shared a video for the atlas created. This video is actually from the image above. how small you are it reveals. According to the statement, the area above it is smaller than the entire atlas. Zoomed in 150 times. From here you can understand how big the universe we live in is.
