The European Space Agency (ESA) has just released the first batch of data from the groundbreaking Euclid space telescope, which was built to study the mysteries of dark matter and dark energy throughout the universe.
The survey data, released March 19, includes initial scans of three regions that Euclid will observe regularly, as well as detailed classifications of more than 380,000 galaxies — a mere 0.4% of the galaxies scientists expect to catalog over the mission's planned six-year lifespan.
