Euclid offers best-ever 3D map of the universe to date

The Euclid Consortium and the European Space Agency (ESA) have released the first major batch of data from the Euclid space telescope. This release, which captures light from more than a billion objects and covers an area of sky equivalent to 9,500 full moons, lays the foundation for Europe's dark universe detective's largest-ever 3D map of the cosmos. Several German research facilities play crucial roles in the Euclid mission's success.
