ESA's Euclid telescope captures largest-ever Milky Way image for exoplanet hunting

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The European Space Agency (ESA) has released a new, highly detailed image of the Milky Way's galactic bulge, showcasing 60 million stars. This image, captured by the Euclid space telescope, is not only visually stunning but also a valuable scientific tool. Its resolution allows astronomers to differentiate individual stars in the dense galactic center, which is crucial for exoplanet hunting using techniques like microlensing. The data from Euclid will also serve as a reference for NASA's upcoming Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope. AI
