Core of the Abell 3381 galaxy cluster from the mosaic captured by the European Space Agencys (ESA) Euclid space telescope. Abell 3381 is located 678 million light-years away from Earth. The image was created using both visible and infrared light, revealing galaxies of various shapes and sizes, including massive elliptical, modest spiral, and tiny dwarf galaxies. The area shown in this image is zoomed in 36 times compared to the mosaic, which contains 260 observations collected in two weeks. This represents only 1 percent of the wide survey that Euclid will conduct over six years. The Euclid mission, launched on 1 July 2023, 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.
