Euclid space telescope successfully launched into space / Project with participation from Bonn
German research institutes participating at the forefront of dark matter and dark energy research
Visualization - An artist’s impression of the Euclid mission in space. The Euclid mission aims to explore the composition and evolution of the dark Universe. The space telescope will create a map of the Universe’s large-scale structure across space and time by observing billions of galaxies out to 10 billion light-years across more than a third of the sky. The European Space Agency’s Euclid space telescope was launched into space today at 17:11 CEST on a Falcon 9 rocket from the U.S. space company SpaceX. From its destination, the Lagrange Point 2 (L2) of the Earth and Sun, it will observe over a third of the entire sky for at least six years and map the spatial distribution of several billion galaxies. The data obtained will provide information about the influence of dark matter and dark energy on the structure of the Universe. With six research institutes, Germany is strongly involved in the international Euclid Consortium. ...UM DIESEN ARTIKEL ZU LESEN, ERSTELLEN SIE IHR KONTO
