Shimmering galaxies revealed in new photos taken by European space telescope

Scientists have unveiled the first pictures taken by the European space telescope Euclid, a shimmering and stunning collection of galaxies too numerous to count.

In one picture, Euclid captured a group shot of 1,000 galaxies in a cluster 240 million light years away, against a backdrop of more than 100,000 galaxies billions of light years away. A light-year is 5.8 trillion miles.Euclid’s view of 1,000 galaxies belonging to the Perseus Cluster Although the Hubble Space Telescope previously observed the heart of this galaxy, Euclid’s shot reveals star formation across the entire region, scientists said.

The observatory will survey billions of galaxies over the next six years, creating the most comprehensive 3D map of the cosmos ever made.
