The space telescope Euclid has launched a historic million-mile journey from Florida as begins its month-long journey to probe the mysteries of the universe.
The two-tonne probe, which is named after the Greek mathematician Euclid, blasted off from Elon Musk's SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket at Cape Canaveral at 4.11pm UK time (11.11am local time) as part of a $1 billion European Space Agency mission.
The Euclid is on its way to Lagrange Point 2, a point in space where gravitational forces even out and it can remain stable.
