class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">The Euclid mission, launched in 2023 and run by the European Space Agency (Esa) with contributions from Nasa, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/science\/2023\/nov\/07\/euclid-telescope-first-images-dark-universe-mission\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">sent its first snapshots<\/a> in November of that year and in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/science\/article\/2024\/may\/23\/euclid-telescope-rogue-planets-floating-free-milky-way\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">May 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">The goal of Euclid is to enable the creation of a 3D map in time and space of the universe, in an attempt to elucidate its evolution and, as a result, shed light on the mysterious phenomena of dark energy and dark matter that together make up 95% of the universe.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">The newly released data is a mosaic of 208 gigapixels and covers 1% of what will be the final map.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">The completed map is expected to involve six years of observations and will take in a third of the sky, with observations expected to capture billions of galaxies out to 10bn light years.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Prof Mat Page, of the Mullard space science laboratory at University College London (UCL), who is the lead for Euclid\u2019s VIS (visible instrument) camera, said that before Euclid no one had ever made an image of such a large area of sky at such high resolution.<\/p>\n<figure

full resolution of Euclid\u2019s spectacular VIS camera,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">\u201cBefore Euclid, we would never be able to see the faint cirrus clouds in the Milky Way, and pick out every star that\u2019s illuminating them in super-high resolution.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">\u201cAnd this is just a tiny fraction of the full area that Euclid is going to survey, so by the end we\u2019ll have a real astronomical harvest of discoveries.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Images released by Esa highlight the area of the sky covered by the new mosaic, together with the mosaic itself and zoomed-in views within it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Esa said regions of light blue that can be seen in the mosaic were galactic cirrus clouds that sit between stars in the Milky Way.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"68a31994-fce6-43fa-ae70-7d7e1041e3e2\" data-spacefinder-role=\"inline\" data-spacefinder-type=\"model.dotcomrendering.pageElements.ImageBlockElement\" class=\"
