Euclid: ESA's telescope captures stunning images, gives rare view of dark universe. Know about breakthrough
Euclid space telescope has captured stunning images of the cosmos, reports 'The Washington Times'. European Space Agency launched this high-powered telescope into space last summer to take images of the deeper corner of the space. The ESA finally released five breathtaking and incredible images of the cosmos on Thursday.
Euclid releases five images
In an article published on its official website, NASA said that the Euclid mission has released five new images. These images showcase the space telescope’s ability to explore two large-scale cosmic mysteries: dark matter and dark energy. It also said that dark matter is an invisible substance five times more common in the universe than “regular” matter but with an unknown composition. NSA said that 'dark energy' is the name given to the unknown source causing the universe to expand faster and faster.
Eculid's mission is far from over
Eculid's mission is far from over, it will dive deeper into space to help astronomers. Talking to the 'New York Times', Jean-Charles Cuillandre, an astronomer at CEA Paris-Saclay, said, «Before trying to understand what it is, you have to understand how it behaves.»
What is dark matter?
Space scientists have said that dark matter is a mysterious substance that can bend and distort light. This phenomenon is called 'gravitational lensing'. In extreme cases, the gravitational lensing may cause galaxies to appear warped, and can even produce mirror images of a single source.
