Quick Glance: Europe's Euclid Space Telescope Explores the 'Dark Universe'
- Euclid will be released and travel for a month to its destination in a solar orbit nearly 1 million miles (1.6 million km) from Earth after a short ride to space.
- From there, Euclid explores the evolution of the 'dark universe' using a wide-angle telescope to survey galaxies as far away as 10 billion light years from Earth across a vast expanse of the sky beyond our own Milky Way galaxy.
- The mission focuses on two fundamental aspects of the dark universe.
- Euclid was developed and built entirely by ESA, with the U.S. space agency, NASA, providing photo detectors for its near-infrared instrument.
