Euclid is an ESA mission to map the geometry of the Universe and better understand the mysterious dark matter and dark energy, which make up most of the energy budget of the cosmos.

Jan 24, 2023 · Euclid is an ambitious ESA mission to investigate the expansion history of the Universe and the growth of cosmic structures over the last 10 billion years of cosmic history. It is a space telescope with instruments that can detect visible and near-infrared radiation.

Oct 31, 2019 · Euclid is a medium-class mission in ESA's Cosmic Vision programme to investigate the expansion of our Universe over the past ten billion years, probing cosmic epochs from before the expansion started to accelerate, all the way to the present.

Jun 24, 2020 · Euclid is an ESA mission that will fly an extremely sophisticated space telescope to measure the shapes of more than a billion galaxies, and accurate redshifts of tens of millions of galaxies.

Sep 19, 2019 · The Euclid telescope is a three mirror Korsch configuration with a 0.45 deg off-axis field and an aperture stop at the primary mirror. The entrance pupil diameter is 1.2 metres, the optically corrected and unvigneted field of view is 0.79 × 1.16 deg², and the focal length is 24.5 m.

Oct 29, 2019 · Euclid is an ESA mission to map the geometry of the dark Universe. The mission will investigate the distance-redshift relationship and the evolution of cosmic structures. It achieves this by measuring shapes and redshifts of galaxies and clusters of galaxies out to redshifts ~2, or equivalently to a look-back time of 10 billion years.

Sep 1, 2019 · Euclid Mapping the geometry of the dark Universe: Theme: How did the Universe originate and what is it made of? Primary Goal: To understand the nature of dark energy and dark matter by accurate measurement of the accelerated expansion of the Universe through different independent methods. Targets: Galaxies and clusters of galaxies out to z~2,
