The European Space Agency has released the first test science images from the Euclid Space Telescope 🥳 revealing thousands of galaxies both near and far in exquisite detail. The plan for Euclid is to survey the sky, recording the positions and distances of galaxies which we can use to produce a 3D map of the universe. That will allow us to study both dark matter and dark energy, plus the evolution of galaxies with time.

👩🏽‍💻 I’m Dr. Becky Smethurst, an astrophysicist at the University of Oxford (Christ Church). I love making videos about science with an unnatural level of enthusiasm. I like to focus on how we know things, not just what we know. And especially, the things we still don’t know. If you’ve ever wondered about something in space and couldn’t find an answer online - you can ask me! My day job is to do research into how supermassive black holes can affect the galaxies that they live in. In particular, I look at whether the energy output from the disk of material orbiting around a growing supermassive black hole can stop a galaxy from forming stars.
