The Euclid space telescope has released five new views of the cosmos that show an array of celestial objects in unprecedented detail.
The five new images released by the Euclid team are at least four times sharper than images taken from ground-based telescopes. Covering vast swathes of the, they feature unrivaled depth as well, with Euclid peering far into the distant universe using its 600-megapixel camera that observes celestial targets in visible light and a near-infrared spectrometer.
A close up of Abell 2390 as seen by Euclid shows warped and deformed galaxies caused by graviatational lensing which can help determine the distribution of dark matter Cropper explains that this diffraction of near and bright sources is unavoidable because they result from light interacting with the structures holding and supporting optics in the telescope's instruments. However, this doesn't impact Euclid's precision.
The wide-field view of Euclid allowed it to capture the entirety of NGC 6744, demonstrating its capability to facilitate the study of entire galaxies. But, as the image below also shows, that doesn't mean the space telescope will miss the fine details of these galaxies. , G.
