Euclid UK

Fab Sun at #NewScientistLive: the @eucliduk.bsky.social stand was packed with young dark matter detectives; a delight to hear @jimalkhalili.bsky.social's book talk"On Time"; everyone laughed at my jokes in my talk 🥳 Tomorrow I'm talking in #Greenwich - come along!🔭 ℹ️: www.rmg.co.uk/whats-on/nat...

#CitizenScience afficionados, #Euclid scientists would like to again solicit your input for classifying #GravitationalLensing systems. We need a sprint finish before the science analysis can be completed. 18000 galaxies that are maybe acting as lenses are waiting for your eyes and brains. 🔭 #ESA

A new friend is on its way to hang out with us. Safe travels, Roman! 🤩 www.nasa.gov/missions/rom...

Two hours until the scheduled lift-off of the Nancy Grace #Roman Space Telescope at 13:26 CEST. This will be a fabulous telescope, similar to #ESAEuclid but different enough for these two missions to complement each other. #NASA #ESA #space #astronomy #telescopes

The Royal Astronomical Society is shocked and dismayed to hear that the UK's iconic Jodrell Bank Observatory is at risk of closure amid a slew of catastrophic budget cuts. Read our full statement here: ras.ac.uk/news-and-pre...

Our thoughts are with our colleagues across Spain and France, as well as the emergency services teams battling these catastrophic #wildfires.

Our space telescope Euclid has discovered 31 ancient quasars in the early Universe, including the two oldest ever observed. Their light has travelled for more than 13 billion years, taking us back to when the cosmos was just 5% of its current age. 🌌🧪🔭 Read more 👉 www.esa.int/Science_Expl...

#Euclid scientists identified 31 new early Universe quasars, including the two most distant quasars currently known. The new record holder's redshift z=7.77 places it only 670 million years after the Big Bang. www.euclid-ec.org/most-distant... #ESA #ESAEuclid #astronomy #blackholes #science

📣 Most ancient quasars ever found! Euclid has discovered 31 ancient quasars. Two of them shone with the light of a trillion Suns back when the Universe was 670 million years old – just 5% of its current age. Discover more 👉 www.esa.int/Science_Expl... 🔭 🧪 ☄️

If you are in the London/UK area right now, #Euclid has an interactive exhibition at the @royalsociety.org's #SummerScience exhibition. Open until Sunday 5 July. See you there! #ESAEuclid #astronomy #space #research

Euclid, the dark universe has arrived at the @royalsociety.org's #SummerScience exhibition! Our team of scientists, engineers and public engagement professionals, ranging from undergraduate students to senior professors, will be here until Sunday...

60 million stars in just one image 🤯 @esa.int's Euclid mission has just released the most detailed visible light image ever of our galaxy's centre. See this image up close and meet some of the scientists behind it at our #SummerScience Exhibition next week: eucliduk.net/rssse.html

From depictions of science on the silver screen to what black holes look like up close and the art and ingenuity of feathers, here's what you can expect from the packed line up of talks and activities at the #SummerScience Exhibition this week: https://bit.ly/4vzOTA2

A year ago, #Euclid's first small data release 'Q1' provided data for 63 deg² of sky to the world. Now an 'Astronomy & Astrophysics Special Issue' has been published with 41 articles about and around this release: www.euclid-ec.org/q1-special-i... #astronomy #ESA #ESAEuclid #space #galaxies

Our Dark Universe detective 🕵️ earns its spot in ESA's June highlights – with the largest, most detailed image of the Milky Way's heart ever taken in visible light 👉 www.esa.int/Science_Expl... 🔭

#Euclid Q1 special issue is finally published in A&A 🎉 Big congrats to everyone who contributed! www.aanda.org/articles/aa/... New challenges with DR1 are already ongoing with full speed 😀 @ec-euclid.bsky.social @eucliduk.bsky.social @esa.int @de.esa.int

Wild to see the detail revealed by the #Euclid #Galactic Bulge Survey. Right side of the ESASKY image below shows a zoomed in edge of the EGBS area on the right, with adjoining Gaia DR3 data to the left. EGBS gives HST WFC3 level detail, but over an area 2000 larger! @eucliduk.bsky.social 🧪🔭

Erm... I might have just got a little bit too carried away on the BBC World Service, waxing lyrical about the gorgeousness of the @ec-euclid.bsky.social image of the heart of the Milky Way: "swirling golden cloudy fuzziness" "the cosmos scattered with glitter" 😂 ☺️🔭 📷: www.esa.int/Science_Expl...

🤩 Gorgeous image drop from @ec-euclid.bsky.social! 60 million stars = (roughly) >60 million exoplanets too.... Anyone else gazing at this image wondering what might be out there gazing back? 🤗 🥳 Huge congratulations to @science.esa.int and the whole Euclid team! 🧪🛰️🔭

Proud of the team I led during 2023-2025 when this survey was designed and executed. Very grateful to my @ec-euclid.bsky.social and @esa.int colleagues for allowing us to do something a little different from Euclid's day-to-day work. youtu.be/2DtFRq1cgcc?... Sound on, and ideally use a 4k screen!

No less than 60 million stars in one image. It's possible thanks to ESA's Euclid mission. For just one day, Euclid turned its gaze to the crowded heart of the Milky Way and captured the largest, most detailed photo ever taken of our galaxy's centre in visible light. Let's dive deeper 👇 🔭 🧪 ☄️ 1/8

It's #Euclid Q2 data release day! ESA and the EC are releasing an unusual dataset: a view into our Milky Way's bulge. There's a primer in this video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=2DtF... #ESA #ESAEuclid #astronomy #MilkyWay #stars #exoplanets 1/

🚨 Clear space in your diary for 11:00 BST tomorrow… 🤩 #newimage

Help us hunt for signs of spacetime warping! 🔎 Join Euclid Space Warps on @zooniverse.bsky.social and search for strong gravitational lenses in never-before-seen images from our Dark Universe detective 🕵️ 👉 www.esa.int/Science_Expl... 🔭 🧪 #CitizenScience

This week, our #HumansOfEuclid have travelled to @manchester.ac.uk for our annual meeting. This time we’re joining forces with @lsstuk.bsky.social, the UK’s contribution to the NSF-DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory, to share our science and discuss further opportunities to collaborate. 🙌 🔍
