No telescope has ever photographed the Horsehead Nebula so clearly, located about 1,375 light-years from Earth.

“It’s incredibly exciting to see the first photos,” Julian Adamek from the University of Zurich (UZH) told the Keystone-SDA news agency. The researcher has been working on the Euclid mission for more than a decade. “It’s the first time you see what the instruments can do.”

ESA said no telescope had ever produced such sharp astronomical images over such a wide area of ​​the sky.

ESA wants to use the telescope to create the most comprehensive 3D map of the universe to date and investigate its evolution over the last ten billion years. The probe was launched into space in July.

In addition to UZH from Switzerland, the University of Applied Sciences of Northwest Switzerland, the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne and the University of Geneva Euclid are participating. (SDA)
