Summary
| Description |
English: This graphic provides an overview of the mosaic and zoomed in images released by ESA’s Euclid mission on 15 October 2024. On the top left, an all-sky map (41 000 square degrees) is visible with the location of Euclid’s mosaic on the Southern Sky highlighted in yellow. The mosaic contains 260 observations made between 25 March and 8 April 2024. In just two weeks, Euclid covered 132 square degrees of the Southern Sky, more than 500 times the area of the full Moon as seen from Earth. On the top right, Euclid’s field-of-view in one observation is compared to the area of the full Moon (further explained here). In the mosaic, the locations of the various zoomed in images are shown. Above the separate images, the zoom factor is given (from 3 to 600 times enlarged compared to the original mosaic). [Image description: An overview collage of how all the images in article ‘Zoom into the first page of ESA Euclid’s great cosmic atlas’ fit into each other.] |
