📣 Euclid releases first batch of survey data, including a preview of its very own deep fields!

With just one scan, #ESAEuclid has already spotted 26 million galaxies 👉 esa.int/Science_Explor…

Let's explore the treasure trove that our #DarkUniverse detective has uncovered 🧵 1/

$A sea of stars and galaxies sparkle against a black background. Several galaxies can be identified by their elongated shape and/or spiral arms. Some galaxies are seen edge-on while one prominent spiral galaxy at the bottom centre is seen face-on. At the far right, between the middle and top of the image, are some interacting galaxies. Galaxy clusters are also seen, in particular near bottom centre, where features smeared into arcs represent gravitational lensing. The brightest stars in the image have diffraction spikes.$
