Official Consortium of ESA's Euclid mission on the Universe's dark matter, energy & expansion, 15 European countries + USA + CAN + JAP, 2000+ scientists + engineers. Telescope successfully launched 1 July 2023 and now arrived at L2. Scientific surveys started 14 February 2024. First science data released!

Would you like to be part of citizen science astronomy? We invite you to classify gravitational lens candidates in so-far unreleased #ESAEuclid data: "Space Warps – ESA Euclid DR1".

3000 volunteers have already made nearly 900,000 classifications, yet 70% of the project are still to be done.

Space Warps is back! Do you want to join forces with Euclid Consortium scientists and discover gravitational lenses that no human has ever seen before?

We’re announcing the next Space Warps Citizen Science campaign with Euclid data – now previewing images from Data Release 1. Here is how to become part of the project:

The four Artemis II astronauts just set a record for human distance from Earth, 400.000 km. This also explains why "service" missions to #ESAEuclid, #JWST, or #ESAGaia are unlikely (and currently impossible): their location at the Sun-Earth L2-point is ~1.5 million km from here.

#ESAEuclid was launched 1000 days ago. 🥳

#ESA has already released #Euclid's Q1 dataset, Q2 (in the Galactic Bulge) and ~1900 deg² extragalactic data in DR1 will follow later this year. All instruments are healthy, satellite is working fine.

There are model MOCs by independent designers. I built these two, both are really great:

https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-152260/BrickSat/euclid/#details

The designer makes models of a number of sats, he also seems to be working in the space industry around ESA. Can recommend!

We also printed it scaled down by a factor 4, but this 1:64 scale version, while cute, is really at the limit of printability for the smallest parts.

Are you interested in spacecraft models? Then you now have the chance to 3d-print your own #Euclid satellite! You can download all files for your personal version, including detailed assembly instructions:

https://www.euclid-ec.org/public/3d-model/

Scale is 1:16 (~30cm tall) for printing on any printer with a min. 200mm print bed.

Show us your models and tweaks with the hashtag #EuclidAtHome.
