#Q1Release

LEFT: On a black background lies a rectangular shape with stepped edges all around, oriented with its long axis pointing from bottom left to top right. Contained within the shape are more than 11 million galaxies, and stars of various size, brightness and colour. Some galaxies are easily identifiable by their fuzzy elongated shapes. There is a hint of more densely populated regions of galaxies being organised into a web-like structure of filaments that permeates the image.

🎵 Have you ever noticed southern skies…? 🎵

Let’s preview another patch of sky from Euclid’s #Q1Release. This time it’s the turn of the southern hemisphere with Deep Field South.

So many fantastic results already from just 0.4% of the Euclid sky. Looking forward to continuing to explore the Euclid sky with an amazing team of early career researchers at Southampton @ec-euclid.bsky.social @eucliduk.bsky.social #ESAEuclid #Q1release

Check out this thread from @eucliduk.bsky.social - nice summary about the Euclid Quick-1 data release #Q1release

On a black background lies a rectangular shape with several stepped notches cut out of its corners, oriented with its longest edges running from bottom left to top right. Contained within the shape are more than ten million galaxies, and stars of various size, brightness and colour. Wispy faint blue cloud-like structures permeate the image, representing gas and dust in between the stars in our own galaxy.

#ESAEuclid reveals its #Q1release data of three deep fields. In this image is a preview of Deep Field North.

Just to reiterate…this is Just. A. Preview.

But, in an area of sky equivalent to holding up an apple at arm’s length, Euclid has already seen more than 10 million galaxies! 😍 (1/4)

With today’s #Q1Release, we get a preview of #ESAEuclid’s three Deep Fields: North, South and Fornax. 🤩

The location of the Deep Fields can be seen as the yellow patches on this all-sky view of ESA Gaia’s star map from its second data release in 2018, and ESA Planck’s dust map from 2014. (1/3)

Are you ready for it…?

Make room in your calendar for 19th March at 11:00, when stunning results with contributions from UK scientists will be revealed. 🚨 🗓️
