A space mission involving Durham University scientists, designed to help understand the dark Universe, has released five new and spectacular images.<\/p>\n

The university is a key partner of the European Space Agency\u2019s (Esa) Euclid space telescope, which launched in July 2023.<\/p>\n

Professor Richard Massey, of Durham\u2019s Centre for Extragalactic Astronomy, said: “Euclid is the most sensitive camera ever built.”<\/p>\n

Its new images show clusters containing thousands of galaxies, star forming nurseries and galaxy mergers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Physicists at Durham created mock data used to train the analysis software of the telescope.<\/p>\n

Researchers from the university will compare their simulations against real observations from Euclid to help them interpret information captured by the telescope.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The Euclid mission is expected to last at least six years<\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n
\n

Professor Massey said of Euclid: “It took 20 years to design it in a way that it will survive its inhospitable environment for at least six years.<\/p>\n

“Today\u2019s images show the capacity Euclid has to see structures and objects in the dark Universe in detail that we have never seen before.<\/p>\n

“This is a hugely exciting time, which will significantly advance our knowledge and understanding of the evolution of our Universe.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The aim of the mission is to inform scientists about the expansion of the Universe<\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

Esa Director General Josef Aschbacher said: \u201cThe mission is the result of many years of hard work from scientists, engineers and industry throughout Europe and from members of the Euclid scientific consortium around the world.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey can be proud of this achievement.<\/p>\n

“The results are no small feat for such an ambitious mission and such complex fundamental science. <\/p>\n

“Euclid is at the very beginning of its exciting journey to map the structure of the Universe.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
