The Euclid spacecraft will transform how we view the 'dark universe'

It is scheduled to lift off on a Falcon 9 rocket, built by SpaceX, from Cape Canaveral in early July.

Key Points: 
  • It is scheduled to lift off on a Falcon 9 rocket, built by SpaceX, from Cape Canaveral in early July.
  • Euclid is designed to provide us with a better understanding of the “mysterious” components of our universe, known as dark matter and dark energy.
  • Euclid will map this “dark universe”, using a suite of scientific instruments to shed light on different aspects of dark energy and dark matter.

A light in the dark

    • Euclid will join the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) at this point and will be the perfect companion to that amazing space observatory.
    • Both used different techniques, and therefore different instruments, to study the dark universe, and ESA was struggling to decide between them.
    • But Euclid also carries some of the biggest digital cameras deployed in space with fields of view hundreds of times greater than JWST’s.

Shapes and colours

    • This gravitational lensing effect is weak, only one part in a hundred thousand for most galaxies, thus requiring lots of galaxies to see the effect in high definition.
    • VIS, however, can’t measure the colours of objects.
    • That history is vital for testing possible models of dark energy including suggested modifications to Einstien’s Theory of General Relativity.

Treasure trove

    • Like JWST, Euclid will be a treasure-trove of new discoveries in many areas of astronomy.
    • This software has also been checked and verified using some of the largest simulations of the universe that have ever been constructed.
    • Seeing the project come together in this way makes me proud to call myself a “Euclidian”.
