Explanation: There's a new space telescope in the sky: Euclid. Equipped with two large panoramic cameras, Euclid captures light from the visible to the near-infrared. It took five hours of observing for Euclid's 1.2-meter diameter primary mirror to capture, through its sharp optics, the 1000+ galaxies in the Perseus cluster, which lies 250 million light years away. More than 100,000 galaxies are visible in the background, some as far away as 10 billion light years. The revolutionary nature of Euclid lies in the combination of its wide field of view (twice the area of the full moon), its high angular resolution (thanks to its 620 Megapixel camera), and its infrared vision, which captures both images and spectra. Euclid's initial surveys, covering a third of the sky and recording over 2 billion galaxies, will enable a study of how dark matter and dark energy have shaped our universe.
For more detail go to the link and click on the image for a high definition image. You can then move the magnifying glass cursor then click to zoom in and click again to zoom out. When zoomed in you can scan by moving the side bars on the bottom and right side of the image.
Look at all of the little dots in the background. They are all galaxies.
Look like night traffic on I-5 in Seattle.
Yet the scientists say there’s not enough ‘mass’ visible to have caused the Big Bang..................
Well isn’t that Perseus!
Like diamonds on black velvet….
I always think of 2001: A Space Odyssey when I see awe-inspiring images like this one.
“My God, it’s full of stars . . .”
In the beginning, God created the heavens and the Earth. What an awesome God, ineffable in his majesty.
Deut. 29:29: The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may follow all the words of this law.
Wow very nice, thanks for posting.
Imagine the spy photos we have of earth targets with a 620 Megapixel camera!
I read decades ago the spy telescopes ability to read a license plate from orbit. It must be really possible now.
“Euclid’s initial surveys, covering a third of the sky and recording over 2 billion galaxies”
6 billion and more galaxies each with hundreds of billions of stars and trillions of planets. Maybe some of those planets have internet too and aliens are posting about the Milky Way galaxy and the stupid rinos of their country.
I bet you could detect our RINOs from another galaxy.
