@ESA_Euclid looked at the Milky Way galaxy’s centre for about 26 hours and delivered the largest and most detailed photo of this region, packed with more than 60 million stars. This is part of the Euclid Quick Data Release 2, now publicly available.

No less than 60 million stars in one image. It's possible thanks to the @ESA_Euclid mission. For just one day, Euclid turned its gaze to the crowded heart of the Milky Way and captured the largest, most detailed photo ever taken of our galaxy's centre in visible light. Let's dive deeper 👇 1/8

Il telescopio spaziale @ESA_Euclid ha identificato 31 antichissimi quasar. Due di essi risalgono a quando l’Universo aveva 670 milioni di anni – appena il 5% della sua età attuale.

Maar liefst 60 miljoen sterren op één foto. Dit is mogelijk dankzij de @ESA_Euclid-missie. Gedurende slechts één dag richtte Euclid zijn blik op het drukke hart van de Melkweg en legde de grootste, meest gedetailleerde foto vast die ooit in zichtbaar licht van het centrum van ons sterrenstelsel is gemaakt. Laten we er dieper op ingaan

This is the heart of the Milky Way, zoomed in ten times compared to the full image. Despite the super-crowded area, Euclid's visible light camera can tell individual stars apart – without being blinded by the chaos. 5/8

#ESAEuclid proves time and again that it's a remarkable space telescope. In just one day, it captured a mosaic that covers the entire region that the Roman space telescope will monitor for planet hunting, delivering essential data for this quest. Follow the story at esa.int/euclid 8/8

Astronomers pointed Euclid to this area to study exoplanets using a technique called microlensing. Discover how here 👉esa.int/Science_Exploration/… Thanks to these observations they will be able to confirm any exoplanet found in this region and measure its mass. 7/8

Euclid's sharpness and sensitivity allowed it to distinguish several distinct cosmic objects: 🔎 an open star cluster 🔎 an emission nebula 🔎 a dense molecular cloud in the foreground But Euclid was looking for something else. 6/8
