So many things to be excited about with today’s #ESAEuclid data splash, but this👇is the result I’m most in awe of: “mass curves spacetime” in action, revealed in exquisite detail for absolutely oodles of galaxies, all thanks to citizen scientists❤️ 🔭🧪

🌌 🛰️Un "coffre au trésor" cosmique s'ouvre ! #ESAEuclid dévoile ses premières données scientifiques, capturant 26 millions de galaxies avec précision. Un projet où la France excelle avec le @cnrs comme premier contributeur scientifique.

Nice but is this really so important that one has to pre-announce the announcement?

And as usual with #ESAEuclid, both the full scene of NGC 6505 and its environment and background are visible in the same image, as well as the Einstein Ring in the center. But you have to zoom in!

The combination of #ESAEuclid's spatial resolution and sensitivity of these observations shows the central Einstein Ring in NGC 6505 so clearly that it almost looks painted. But it is being created by gravity.

Scientists with #ESAEuclid have discovered an Einstein Ring gravitational lens in a nearby NGC galaxies - something very rare, unexpected, and beautiful. NGC 6505 bends space, turning the image of a background galaxy into a ring.

Coming Monday, 10 February, #ESAEuclid will present a new science result. Something something ... special nearby galaxy something... 😀 #ESA press release is being finalized, consortium blog post being written, paper will be in A&A. It will be cool and beautiful and colourful and amazing. 🤩 We are excited to finally share this with the world.

#astronomy #galaxies #space #EuclidLeaks

We are continuing our blog-series about "People of Euclid", all the scientists, engineers, and technicians that created Euclid, are now operating it and are using the science data.

At #AAS245 you will find the special session "241 - The Euclid Mission: First Results and Opportunities for Archival Research" on Tuesday, January 14, 2:00-3:30 PM, in National Harbor 10.

Five presentations on the current state of Euclid and it's upcoming first science data release.

Es hat jetzt das Haus von mindestens einem #ESAEuclid-Kollegen in Pasadena erwischt. Mist.

@ec_euclid

Heute 13:50 mein Vortrag auf dem #38c3 zu 18 Monaten #ESAEuclid im All, den ersten 180 Millionen Galaxien, die wir aufgenommen haben und den Herausforderungen, die dazu im vergangenen Jahr gemeistert werden mussten. Und ein paar schöne Bilder.

A look back at #ESAEuclid in 2024, and a look forward into what to expect from #Euclid in the coming year:

#ESA has published a 'Sonification' of #ESAEuclid's image of the Messier 78 star forming region. Sound from an image of the Universe - how does that work?

Here are explanation and sonified image: https://www.esa.int/ESA_Multimedia/Videos/2024/12/Cosmic_jingles_listen_to_Euclid_s_image_of_M78

In the past 24h I have

*looked at gravitational lens candidates (~450)
*looked at cluster lens candidates (~25)
*looked at Little Red Dot candidates (~1000)
*discussed Milky Way center observations
*discussed data release papers
*edited data release papers
*got to browse and see so many beautiful galaxies...

#ESAEuclid's 'Space Warps' #citizenscience search for gravitational lenses is still running. You can participate!

@AstroDave

Thank you, we noticed. #ESAEuclid 😬

#ESAEuclid's first public search project for strong gravitational lenses is now also officially live at 'Space Warps – ESA Euclid'. Anyone can contribute! We're aiming at classifying 100,000 galaxies in this project.

Here's our blog post with more background: https://www.euclid-ec.org/space-warps-euclid
