European Space Agencys Euclid mosaic overlaid on the Gaias star map and Plancks dust map. Gaias star map is an all-sly view of the Milky Way, combined with Plancks dust map reveals also the dust in our galaxy. The yellow region at lower right corresponds the mosaic created from two weeks of observations from the Euclid space telescope. The mosaic covers an area of the Southern Sky more than 500 times the area of the full Moon as seen from Earth. This is just 1 percent of the area that Euclid will cover over six years. Launched on 1 July 2023, the Euclid mission aims to explore the composition and evolution of the dark Universe as part of the Cosmic Vision Programme. The space telescope will observe billions of galaxies up to 10 billion light-years away, covering more than a third of the sky. Its goal is to create a detailed map of the large-scale structure of the universe across space and time, essentially a cosmic atlas.
