Hold onto your spacesuits, star gazers! The European Space Agency’s Euclid telescope just dropped jaw-dropping new images of galaxies billions of light-years away – and they’re basically cosmic eye candy.
Launched to decode the mysteries of dark matter and dark energy (which make up 95% of the universe but are *way* more elusive than your ex’s texts ), Euclid’s latest data dump includes sneak peeks at three star-studded regions. Think of it as NASA meets Netflix’s Our Universe, but with way better special effects.
Why does this matter? By mapping galaxy shapes and locations, scientists hope to uncover how dark energy fuels the universe’s expansion. Plus, one light-year equals 5.88 trillion miles… which is *way* further than your last road trip.
