20231107_zia_a189_439 November 7, 2023, unknown: HANDOUT - his image shows: Globular cluster NGC 6397. The European Space Agency's (ESA) Euclid space mission unveiled its first five full-colour images of the cosmos on Tuesday, November 7, 2023. Launched in July, Euclid is a cutting-edge telescope tasked with mapping a third of the extragalactic sky, shedding light on how dark matter and dark energy shape our universe. This ambitious mission is unique in its ability to capture razor-sharp astronomical images across a vast expanse of the sky, offering unprecedented insights into the far reaches of the universe. The initial set of images serves as a testament to Euclid's unparalleled capability to construct the most extensive 3D map of the universe to date. Among the images, the most captivating is a panoramic view of the Horsehead Nebula, also known as Barnard 33, situated in the Orion constellation approximately 1,375 light-years away. The nebula, with its striking equine shape, stands as the nearest giant star-forming region to Earth. Positioned just south of the prominent star Alnitak, part of Orion's iconic three-star belt, the Horsehead Nebula is a component of the expansive Orion molecular cloud. While various telescopes have previously captured images of the Horsehead Nebula, none have matched Euclid's exceptional ability to deliver a sharp, wide, and detailed view with just a single observation. Remarkably, Euclid achieved this breathtaking image in just one hour, underscoring its mission's capacity to swiftly capture a previously uncharted portion of the sky. The Euclid team also shared an image of the Perseus Cluster, a congregation of galaxies located 240 million light-years away. Notably, the shimmering specks in the image are not stars but galaxies, some of which had never been observed before. Additionally, close-up views of the galaxies IC 342, similar in structure to our Milky Way, and the (Credit Image: © Abaca/Zuma Press/Fotoarena)
