Euclid finds complete Einstein Ring in NGC galaxy
Gravitational lenses are rare in the sky – galaxies bending the light-paths of light from other galaxies behind them to form distorted or even multiple images. Even rarer is a perfect alignment of the two galaxies with us, the obervers, with the light being bent into a so-called Einstein Ring. And the rarest case was now observed by Euclid: this happening in an extremely nearby NGC galaxy.

Euclid in 2024 and what’s to come in 2025
What an exciting year this was for Euclid and the Euclid Consortium! In February Euclid’s surveys have officially started, the first 14 ‘Early Release Observation’ outreach and early science images have been made public, and now the consortium and ESA are gearing up for the first ‘Q1’ data release of 53 deg² to the world.

Space Warps – Euclid
Discover Space Warps with the Euclid Space Telescope! The Euclid Consortium and the Zooniverse team are excited to launch a new Space Warps project, ‘Space Warps – ESA Euclid’, to find strong gravitational lenses in Euclid survey images. You can contribute to identifying systems that bend the fabric of space itself. Excited?

What Euclid really sees in the sky
Euclid’s goal is to produce scientific insight in the fields of cosmology and astrophysics. New knowledge comes in the shape of understanding of processes, new ‘laws of nature’, or numbers relating different physical properties to each other. However, the Euclid spacecraft initially observes the sky, and its data after a downlink to Earth is processed in a set of complex data analysis pipelines to extract such numbers and relations. Some of the images that have been calibrated to scientific standards that allow such an extraction have already been publicized – but how does Euclid’s raw, unprocessed view into the sky look?
