Hubble and Euclid Reveal Stunning New View of Cat’s Eye Nebula
Astronomers combined observations from the Hubble and Euclid space telescopes to produce a detailed image of the Cat’s Eye Nebula. The composite view reveals intricate shells, jets, and a faint outer ring formed from earlier eruptions of the dying star.

Scientists Discover Rare, Nearly Invisible Galaxy Dominated By Dark Matter
According to researchers, approximately 99 percent of this galaxy's total mass is dark matter.

Astronomers Find ‘Impossible’ Galaxy ACDG-2 With Virtually No Stars and a Massive Dark Matter Core
Astronomers have identified CDG-2, a faint galaxy in the Perseus cluster that appears to be composed almost entirely of dark matter. Located 300 million light-years from Earth, it was discovered by tracking globular star clusters using data from Hubble, Euclid, and Subaru telescopes. Scientists estimate that about 99% of its total mass is dark matt...

Galaxy Collisions Found to Activate Supermassive Black Holes, Euclid Data Shows
Astronomers using ESA’s Euclid telescope and AI analysis have found that merging galaxies are significantly more likely to host active supermassive black holes. The gravitational chaos of a collision drives gas toward the galactic core, igniting AGN activity. This discovery strengthens the link between galaxy interactions and the energetic proces...

ESA’s Euclid Telescope Charts Over a Million Galaxies in Landmark First Data
ESA’s Euclid space telescope has captured about 1.2 million galaxies in its first year, providing one of the most detailed wide-field surveys of the universe ever made. Covering distances up to 10 billion light-years, Euclid’s clear, expansive imaging is helping astronomers study galaxy shapes, mergers, dwarf galaxy populations, and the role of...

Flagship 2, The Largest-Ever Simulation Of Universe With 3.4 Billion Galaxies, Released
The Flagship 2 simulation, developed using an algorithm by University of Zurich astrophysicist Joachim Stadel, is the largest and most detailed universe simulation ever created.

ESA’s Euclid Telescope Releases First Data, Mapping 26 Million Galaxies
ESA’s Euclid telescope has released its first dataset, mapping 26 million galaxies within a week. The observations include deep-field images, a survey of 380,000 galaxies, and 500 new gravitational lens candidates. Scientists will continue tracking cosmic evolution over six years. The dataset, currently 35 terabytes, is expected to grow to 2 peta...

Weak Gravitational Lensing Examines Universe’s Structure: What You Need to Know
The universe's large-scale uniformity is under scrutiny through weak gravitational lensing. Researchers are analysing data from the Euclid Space Telescope to detect potential anisotropies in cosmic expansion. If confirmed, these findings could challenge the fundamental Cosmological Principle, which assumes the universe has no preferred direction. T...

Euclid Space Telescope Discovers Rare Einstein Ring, Revealing Dark Matter Secrets
The Euclid space telescope has detected a rare Einstein ring around galaxy NGC 6505, located approximately 590 million light-years from Earth. This phenomenon, resulting from gravitational lensing, allows scientists to study the distribution of dark matter within the lensing galaxy. The discovery aligns with Euclid's mission to map cosmic structure...

Rare 'Einstein Ring' In Earth's Backyard Captured By Euclid Telescope
The ring is made up of light coming from another galaxy almost 4.42 billion light years away and what we see from Earth is distorted by gravity.
