Seems to be a cluster of astronomical news stories this week.
"The European Space Agency’s Euclid mission has captured images of 26m galaxies, covering 10bn years of cosmic history." So cool 😎

Do We Live in a Special Part of the Universe? Here’s How to Find Out
One of the basic principles of cosmology is the Cosmological Principle. It states that, no matter where you go in the Universe, it will always be broadly the same. Given that we have only explored our own Solar System there is currently no empirical way to measure this. A new study proposes that we can … Continue reading "Do We Live in a Special Part of the Universe? Here’s How to Find Out"
While I don't pretend to understand the physics, the images are way cool.

Back when Henk Hoekstra started his PhD, atmosphere turbulence and optical imperfections prevented us from accurately observing dark matter. He tells us why Euclid is a game changer.

#Euclidtelescope had a problem locking on to a "guide star" during early testing. Until engineers could upload new software to its fine guidance sensor, the observatory was swivelling all over the sky.
#Euclid has 6 years to 3D map of one-third of the sky. The telescope combines breadth, depth and sharpness of vision.
