✨This shimmering view from ESA's Euclid mission shows the dark cloud LDN 1641. Though nearly invisible to the human eye, Euclid’s infrared vision uncovers a rich landscape of gas, dust and dozens of newborn stars.
Captured during guiding tests in September 2023, this image helped confirm Euclid’s ability to point with exceptional precision.
While Euclid’s primary goal is to map the Universe in 3D to study dark matter and dark energy, it also reveals hidden corners of our own galaxy.
