Amaze, amaze, amaze 👎

👏👏👏

Jealous of the mood lighting 🌈

Woohoo!

See you soon, Roman. We can’t wait to have another neighbour at L2! 😍

A collage of fourteen by eight squares containing examples of gravitational lenses. Each example typically comprises a bright centre with smears of stars in an arc or multiple arcs around it as a result of light travelling towards Euclid from distant galaxies being bent and distorted by normal and dark matter in the foreground. In some rare cases the smearing is in a complete ring, creating a so-called Einstein Ring.

Help us hunt for signs of spacetime warping! 🔎

The University of Manchester's iconic arch, part of a Victorian building.

The University of Manchester’s Schuster building in the centre of the portrait. The top third is full of blue sky with some thin clouds. The bottom third is green, short grass with some yellow dandelions.

This week, our #HumansOfEuclid have travelled to @manchester.ac.uk for our annual meeting. This time we’re joining forces with @lsstuk.bsky.social, the UK’s contribution to the NSF-DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory, to share our science and discuss further opportunities to collaborate. 🙌 🔍

A photo of the Schuster Building at the University of Manchester. It’s a sunny day with blue sky and some thin cloud. The Schuster Building lies in the middle of this portrait photo. Above it is the sky, below it is green grass with some dandelions.

Another pretty lovely day out there! Looks like the weather gods are on our side so far… 🤞

Thank you to @physicsastronomyed.bsky.social PhD students Abby and Evan, and MSc Science Communication and Public Engagement student Elinor for starring in this video!

What if…

…you could become a #DarkMatterDetective? 🕵️‍♀️

…and search for galaxies captured by @esa.int’s #Euclid space telescope…

Join us at Dynamic Earth, Edinburgh’s Science Centre and Planetarium, for #edscifest until Friday 10th April! 🌀

Ahh, I guess this is the view behind my sunshield! 🥺

Ahh, I guess this is the view behind my sunshield! 🥺

Ahh, I guess this is the view behind my sunshield! 🥺

Come along between 10am - 4pm to get hands on with our demos and activities, where you can become a #DarkUniverseDetective and help the team find the clues that may just solve the mysteries of dark matter and dark energy!

#7Days100Scientists #edscifest

@ec-euclid.bsky.social

From 7th - 10th April, meet mission scientists and engineers from @physicsastronomyed.bsky.social, together with their colleagues in the UK and across the world, transform the raw images from @esa.int's Euclid space telescope into a breathtaking cosmic atlas.

Euclid’s view of M78 is in the background. A filamentary orange veil covers a bright region of star formation. The background is dark, stippled with stars and galaxies ranging from small bright dots to starry shapes. The foreground veil spans from upper left to the bottom right and resembles a seahorse. Bright stars light up the ‘eye’ and ‘chest’ regions of the seahorse with purple light. Within the tail, three bright spots sit in a traffic-light like formation. In the foreground, placed on top of M78, is a “Dark Universe Detectives” logo and below this the University of Edinburgh and Euclid Consortium Logos

Three young people from the Euclid team (Left to right: woman, man, man) in the foreground are smiling and the middle person is holding a scale model of the Euclid space telescope. In the background are displays and screens related to dark matter and dark energy.

In partnership with The University of Edinburgh, can find us at Dynamic Earth during Edinburgh Science Festival next week and we *cannot* wait!

Get a closer look at this image and read more about the Cat’s Eye Nebula on the @ec-euclid.bsky.social blog - www.euclid-ec.org?p=6498&draft...

Euclid will finish its map of the Universe in just six years, and sees as much with its camera in one day as Hubble sees in decades of operation. 👌

Indeed, Euclid covers a much larger area in every image compared to previous space telescopes. Hubble could carry out Euclid’s map of the Universe, but it would take hundreds of years! ⏳

This image highlights the Euclid space telescope’s remarkable ability to produce pin sharp images *and* capture a large portion of the sky reasonably quickly. 👌

Euclid then adds some much needed cosmological context, framing the Cat’s Eye Nebula in a playground of countless distant galaxies! 🌌

Beginning with a zoomed in view from Hubble, we see the very core of the gaseous afterlife of a star thanks to its high resolution visible-light image. 🔍

Hubble x Euclid 🤝

The two space telescopes join forces to create a breathtaking new view of the Cat’s Eye Nebula! 😍
