Euclid is the European Space Agency’s wide-field space telescope built to map the “dark Universe”—the large-scale distribution of dark matter and the behavior of dark energy—by making an enormous 3D map of galaxies across cosmic time. It launched in July 2023 and began routine science observations on 14 Feb 2024 after commissioning/calibration.
What it does (the core mission)
Euclid’s main job is to measure:
How the Universe expands over time (linked to dark energy).
How structure grows over time (linked to dark matter + gravity).
To do that, it uses two primary cosmology techniques (often called “probes”):
1. Weak gravitational lensing: it measures tiny distortions in the shapes of distant galaxies caused by intervening mass (including dark matter).
2. Galaxy clustering / 3D distances (redshifts): it measures how galaxies are distributed in space and time (including features like baryon acoustic oscillations), building a huge 3D map.
How it works (spacecraft + orbit)
Euclid operates around the Sun–Earth L2 region (a stable thermal/observing environment about 1.5 million km from Earth), which helps it take long, steady, ultra-sharp wide-field observations.
The telescope and instruments (how it “sees”)
Euclid observes the sky in visible and near-infrared to get both crisp galaxy shapes and distance information:
VIS (Visible Imager)
Wide-field visible imaging optimized for precise galaxy shape measurements (critical for weak lensing).
ESA lists VIS covering ~550–900 nm with a large field of view and fine sampling.
Euclid Consortium describes VIS as a 609-megapixel large-format imager with a very large sky footprint per pointing.
NISP (Near-Infrared Spectrometer & Photometer)
Near-IR photometry + spectroscopy are used to estimate galaxy distances (redshifts) and to see galaxies that are faint/redshifted out of visible light.
Survey strategy (how it builds the “giant map”)
Euclid repeatedly scans huge areas of sky with a consistent observing pattern so scientists can:
Combine many exposures for calibration and shape accuracy
Cross-match visible + near-IR measurements
Produce uniform catalogs of galaxy shapes, distances, and lensing signals at scale
This turns into:
A 3D cosmic atlas (positions + distances)
A map of the cosmic web and inferred dark matter distribution via lensing
What has been released / discovered so far (high level)
ESA has shown early “first images” demonstrating that Euclid can produce extremely high-quality, wide-field views suitable for building a huge 3D map.
A major early dataset release (2025) included a preview of deep fields and large numbers of detected galaxies, described as an initial step toward the full atlas.
Euclid has also produced striking lensing results (e.g., Einstein-ring style systems), which are scientifically valuable because lenses help measure mass (including dark matter).
The Euclid Consortium has released packages of early scientific publications based on quick data releases.
“Secrets” about what it does (what’s real vs rumor)
People sometimes say space telescopes have “secret missions.” Here’s the reality for Euclid:
What’s not supported by evidence
There’s no credible public evidence that Euclid is a spy platform, weapon system, or doing covert Earth surveillance. Its hardware, orbit, observing style, and published science goals are built around deep-space cosmology, and ESA is openly publishing images and data-release plans.
What can feel like a “secret” but is normal science ops
Calibration/commissioning periods: early months focus on tuning optics, thermal stability, detector behavior, and pipelines before “routine science” starts (Euclid’s routine observations began Feb 2024).
Staged data releases: surveys often publish data in chunks (quick releases, then larger releases) because the processing, validation, and catalog-building are enormous tasks.
Proprietary analysis windows: big consortia sometimes have limited-time priority to validate and publish certain products first—then data becomes broadly available (policies vary by release).
Why Euclid matters (what it could reveal)
If Euclid hits its precision targets, it can:
Test whether cosmic acceleration is consistent with a simple “cosmological constant” or something more complex (dark energy evolution).
Map dark matter indirectly through lensing across huge volumes, connecting galaxy formation to the cosmic web.
Stress-test gravity itself on cosmic scales by comparing expansion history vs structure growth.
Parker Solar Probe (PSP) is a NASA mission launched in August 2018 to do something never done before: fly directly through the Sun’s outer atmosphere (the corona) and sample it up close. Its goal is to solve long-standing mysteries about how the Sun works and how it affects the entire solar system.
---
🚀 Core mission objectives
Parker Solar Probe is designed to answer four big solar physics questions:
1. Why is the Sun’s corona so hot?
The Sun’s surface is ~5,500 °C (9,900 °F)
The corona is millions of degrees hotter
PSP measures particles, waves, and magnetic fields inside the corona itself to identify the heating mechanism
2. How is the solar wind accelerated?
The solar wind is a constant stream of charged particles flowing outward
PSP measures how and where the wind gains speed, from near-stationary plasma to supersonic flow
3. How are solar energetic particles created?
These particles can damage satellites, disrupt GPS, and endanger astronauts
PSP directly samples particle acceleration regions near the Sun
4. What shapes the Sun’s magnetic field?
The Sun’s magnetic field drives flares, coronal mass ejections (CMEs), and space weather
PSP maps the field at distances never reached before
---
☀️ How close does it get?
Closest approach: ~6.16 million km (3.83 million miles) from the Sun’s surface
That’s closer than any spacecraft in history
The probe travels up to ~430,000 mph (≈700,000 km/h) — the fastest human-made object ever
To achieve this, PSP uses 7 Venus gravity assists to gradually shrink its orbit.

🛡️ Surviving extreme heat
Thermal Protection System (TPS)
Carbon-carbon composite heat shield
Thickness: ~11.4 cm (4.5 in)
Withstands ~1,370 °C (2,500 °F)
Keeps instruments behind it at room temperature
The spacecraft must stay perfectly oriented—if it turns even slightly, exposed parts can fail in seconds.

🔬 Scientific instruments (onboard payload)
1. FIELDS
Measures electric & magnetic fields
Detects plasma waves and turbulence
Helps explain coronal heating
2. SWEAP (Solar Wind Electrons, Alphas, and Protons)
Counts and measures solar wind particles
Determines temperature, density, and speed
3. ISʘIS (Integrated Science Investigation of the Sun)
In 2021, Parker Solar Probe officially “touched the Sun” by flying through the corona.

🌍 Why this matters for Earth
Improves space weather forecasting
Protects:
Satellites
Power grids
GPS & communications
Astronauts (Moon & Mars missions)
Helps us understand stellar physics across the universe (our Sun is a typical star)

It launched in July 2023 and began routine science observations on 14 Feb 2024 after commissioning/calibration.
What it does (the core mission)
Euclid’s main job is to measure:
How the Universe expands over time (linked to dark energy).
How structure grows over time (linked to dark matter + gravity).
To do that, it uses two primary cosmology techniques (often called “probes”):
1. Weak gravitational lensing: it measures tiny distortions in the shapes of distant galaxies caused by intervening mass (including dark matter).
2. Galaxy clustering / 3D distances (redshifts): it measures how galaxies are distributed in space and time (including features like baryon acoustic oscillations), building a huge 3D map.
How it works (spacecraft + orbit)
Euclid operates around the Sun–Earth L2 region (a stable thermal/observing environment about 1.5 million km from Earth), which helps it take long, steady, ultra-sharp wide-field observations.
The telescope and instruments (how it “sees”)
Euclid observes the sky in visible and near-infrared to get both crisp galaxy shapes and distance information:
VIS (Visible Imager)
Wide-field visible imaging optimized for precise galaxy shape measurements (critical for weak lensing).
ESA lists VIS covering ~550–900 nm with a large field of view and fine sampling.
Euclid Consortium describes VIS as a 609-megapixel large-format imager with a very large sky footprint per pointing.
NISP (Near-Infrared Spectrometer & Photometer)
Near-IR photometry + spectroscopy are used to estimate galaxy distances (redshifts) and to see galaxies that are faint/redshifted out of visible light.
Survey strategy (how it builds the “giant map”)
Euclid repeatedly scans huge areas of sky with a consistent observing pattern so scientists can:
Combine many exposures for calibration and shape accuracy
Cross-match visible + near-IR measurements
Produce uniform catalogs of galaxy shapes, distances, and lensing signals at scale
This turns into:
A 3D cosmic atlas (positions + distances)
A map of the cosmic web and inferred dark matter distribution via lensing
What has been released / discovered so far (high level)
ESA has shown early “first images” demonstrating that Euclid can produce extremely high-quality, wide-field views suitable for building a huge 3D map.
A major early dataset release (2025) included a preview of deep fields and large numbers of detected galaxies, described as an initial step toward the full atlas.
Euclid has also produced striking lensing results (e.g., Einstein-ring style systems), which are scientifically valuable because lenses help measure mass (including dark matter).
The Euclid Consortium has released packages of early scientific publications based on quick data releases.
“Secrets” about what it does (what’s real vs rumor)
People sometimes say space telescopes have “secret missions.” Here’s the reality for Euclid:
What’s not supported by evidence
There’s no credible public evidence that Euclid is a spy platform, weapon system, or doing covert Earth surveillance. Its hardware, orbit, observing style, and published science goals are built around deep-space cosmology, and ESA is openly publishing images and data-release plans.
What can feel like a “secret” but is normal science ops
Calibration/commissioning periods: early months focus on tuning optics, thermal stability, detector behavior, and pipelines before “routine science” starts (Euclid’s routine observations began Feb 2024).
Staged data releases: surveys often publish data in chunks (quick releases, then larger releases) because the processing, validation, and catalog-building are enormous tasks.
Proprietary analysis windows: big consortia sometimes have limited-time priority to validate and publish certain products first—then data becomes broadly available (policies vary by release).
Why Euclid matters (what it could reveal)
If Euclid hits its precision targets, it can:
Test whether cosmic acceleration is consistent with a simple “cosmological constant” or something more complex (dark energy evolution).
Map dark matter indirectly through lensing across huge volumes, connecting galaxy formation to the cosmic web.
Stress-test gravity itself on cosmic scales by comparing expansion history vs structure growth.

Parker Solar Probe — full details & what it does
Parker Solar Probe (PSP) is a NASA mission launched in August 2018 to do something never done before: fly directly through the Sun’s outer atmosphere (the corona) and sample it up close. Its goal is to solve long-standing mysteries about how the Sun works and how it affects the entire solar system.
---
🚀 Core mission objectives
Parker Solar Probe is designed to answer four big solar physics questions:
1. Why is the Sun’s corona so hot?
The Sun’s surface is ~5,500 °C (9,900 °F)
The corona is millions of degrees hotter
PSP measures particles, waves, and magnetic fields inside the corona itself to identify the heating mechanism
2. How is the solar wind accelerated?
The solar wind is a constant stream of charged particles flowing outward
PSP measures how and where the wind gains speed, from near-stationary plasma to supersonic flow
3. How are solar energetic particles created?
These particles can damage satellites, disrupt GPS, and endanger astronauts
PSP directly samples particle acceleration regions near the Sun
4. What shapes the Sun’s magnetic field?
The Sun’s magnetic field drives flares, coronal mass ejections (CMEs), and space weather
PSP maps the field at distances never reached before
---
☀️ How close does it get?
Closest approach: ~6.16 million km (3.83 million miles) from the Sun’s surface
That’s closer than any spacecraft in history
The probe travels up to ~430,000 mph (≈700,000 km/h) — the fastest human-made object ever
To achieve this, PSP uses 7 Venus gravity assists to gradually shrink its orbit.

🛡️ Surviving extreme heat
Thermal Protection System (TPS)
Carbon-carbon composite heat shield
Thickness: ~11.4 cm (4.5 in)
Withstands ~1,370 °C (2,500 °F)
Keeps instruments behind it at room temperature
The spacecraft must stay perfectly oriented—if it turns even slightly, exposed parts can fail in seconds.

🌌 What Parker Solar Probe has already discovered
Confirmed magnetic “switchbacks” (sudden magnetic field reversals) are abundant near the Sun
Found that the corona rotates differently than expected
Directly sampled the region where the solar wind becomes super-Alfvénic
Observed dust destruction zones close to the Sun
Measured unexpectedly strong particle acceleration
In 2021, Parker Solar Probe officially “touched the Sun” by flying through the corona.
