European Space Agency (ESA), in June 2023 Euclid sent his distance telescope into space. He explained that the telescope’s mission is to scan almost the entire sky and reveal how dark matter is distributed in the universe. The new space telescope could image billions of stars and galaxies in the sharpest way ever.

imagese More than 14 million galaxies It is located. This gives us a chance to see even part of the structure that astronomers call the “cosmic atlas.” Carole Mundell, ESA’s scientific director, said the scale of the image was incredible.

More than 16,000 4K TVs needed

According to ESA’s statement, to display this cosmic atlas in full resolution More than 16 thousand 4K televisions It is necessary to use. Moreover, what we would see even if we brought together so many 4K televisions, Euclid’s task it will only be 1% of the atlas it will ultimately create. It is also stated that 260 pieces were brought together to create the first official visual.

Euclid, The map that will emerge after the observation mission is completed and all the pieces are put into place will be the largest sky map created in human history. The collection of all images is 6 years It will continue.

The bluish stripe in the image is In the Milky Way Galaxy It is caused by the gas and dust present. In the full-size image, distant galaxies and black holes are clearly visible.
