Euclid is a new space telescope that will explore the dark universe, which is made of dark matter and dark energy. It has just released its first sample pictures from space, and they are amazing. Watch this video to see these pictures and learn more about Euclid and the dark universe.


James Webb (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?113456-The-Power-Of-The-James-Webb-Telescope-in-Space-To-Be-Launched-in-2021) and Euclid: The Ultimate Duo to Hunt for the Dark Universe:

In this video, we will explore one of the most fascinating and mysterious topics in physics: dark matter and dark energy. These are two invisible phenomena that make up most of the universe, but we have no idea what they are or how they work. We will learn how we detect them, what they do to the cosmos, and what some of the possible explanations are. We will also discover how two amazing space missions, the James Webb Space Telescope and the Euclid spacecraft, will work together to shed some light on the dark side of the universe. Join us as we dive into the ultimate space mystery: what is dark matter and dark energy?

Webb and Gaia welcome Euclid to L2

ZXvHKuv0WEQ
In the month after its launch on 1 July, Euclid has travelled 1.5 million kilometres from Earth towards the Sun-Earth Lagrange point L2, meaning it has ‘arrived’ at its destination orbit.

This animation showcases the orbits of Euclid (green), the James Webb Space Telescope (blue), and the Gaia mission (yellow) around this unique position in space. The positions of the spacecraft in this animation don’t correspond to their current positions in space.

Located about 1.5 million kilometres from Earth in the opposite direction from the Sun, L2 is about four times further away than our Moon. Several other space missions like Webb and Gaia also orbit L2 as it offers the perfect vantage point to study the Universe.

At L2, the spacecraft can keep the Sun, Earth and Moon behind them at all times, so they don’t interfere with observations, while at the same time getting a clear view of deep space and pointing an antenna back to Earth to remain in close communication.

Euclid and Webb’s halo orbit around L2 is big. In terms of distance, the ‘radius’ of Euclid’s orbit varies from about 400 000 kilometres at its closest to the centre, and up to 800 000 kilometres at its furthest. By the time Euclid has completed one full revolution around L2, the Moon will have circled the Earth six times. Gaia orbits L2 in a Lissajous orbit, with a maximum distance of around 350 000 km from its centre.

The region around L2 is big and even though the orbits of these spacecraft seem to cross in the animation, in reality there is plenty of space and a collision can be easily avoided. For example, Webb and Gaia are between 400 000 and 1 100 000 km apart, depending on where they are in their respective orbits.



Euclid is a wide-angle space telescope (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_telescope) with a 600-Megapixel Camera to record visible light (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visible_spectrum), a near-infrared (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Near-infrared) spectrometer (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectrometer), and photometer (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photometer), to determine the redshift (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redshift) of detected galaxies (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galaxies). It was developed by the European Space Agency (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Space_Agency) (ESA) and the Euclid Consortium, and was launched on 1 July 2023.

After approximately one month, it reached its destination, a halo orbit (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halo_orbit) around the Sun-Earth second Lagrange point (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lagrange_point) L2, at an average distance of 1.5 million kilometers beyond Earth's orbit (or about four times the distance from the Earth to the Moon). There the telescope is expected to remain operational for at least six years. It joins the Gaia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaia_(spacecraft)) and JWST (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JWST) missions at L2.
