UMass Amherst astronomer leading international effort to understand evolutionary secrets of the universe - EurekAlert
The European Space Agency (ESA) and the Euclid Consortium—a collaboration of 2,000 researchers from 300 institutions in 15 European countries, the U.S., Canada and Japan—recently released the first stunning images from the Euclid space telescope, launched in July 2023. Euclid’s mission is to trace the hidden web-like foundations of the cosmos, map billions of galaxies across more than one-third of the sky, explore how our Universe formed and evolved over cosmic history and study the most mysterious of its fundamental components: dark energy and dark matter.
