    This time, they've turned @ESA_Euclid to the most crowded patch of sky we have. Stay tuned tomorrow as we reveal this image at 12:00 CEST 🤩 2/2
    A wide, horizontal image shows an oval, map-like view set against a black background. Across the centre of the oval runs a bright, narrow band filled with countless tiny points of light, denser and brighter than the areas above and below it. The band looks slightly mottled, with lighter and darker patches mixed together, similar to a thin stripe of dust or mist stretched across a surface. One zoom-in panel is overlaid on the main image. The panel has questions marks drawn inside it.

    Gli astronomi hanno puntato @ESA_Euclid verso la porzione di cielo più affollata che conosciamo. 🌃🌃 @esascience
    Un’ampia immagine orizzontale mostra una vista ovale, simile a una mappa, su uno sfondo nero. Al centro dell’ovale si estende una fascia stretta e luminosa, costellata da innumerevoli minuscoli punti luminosi, più densa e brillante rispetto alle aree sopra e sotto di essa. La fascia appare leggermente screziata, con macchie più chiare e più scure mescolate tra loro, simile a una sottile striscia di polvere o nebbia che si estende su una superficie. Sull’immagine principale è sovrapposto un riquadro ingrandito, al cui interno sono disegnati dei punti interrogativi.

    🥁🥁🥁 New Euclid image coming  In 1995, astronomers turned @HUBBLE_space to a seemingly empty patch of sky. The now famous Hubble Deep Field turned back with 3000 galaxies. Now, astronomers have done the opposite.  1/2

    STScI scientists using the Euclid space telescope made a discovery that provides clues to what’s happening deep within some stars’ interiors: news.stsci.edu/49x77d1 🔭
    This astronomical image is speckled with thousands of stars against the black background of space. Most stars are visible only as white pinpoints. The great majority of stars are crowding the center, which appears as an irregular round shape. Most stars in the center of this cluster are whiter, and those along periphery edges yellower. The stars across the entire image range in color from blue to white to yellowish red. A few of the stars appear a bit larger and brighter than the rest, with six diffraction spikes.

    The precision of Hubble with the expansive vision of Euclid has got me stopping in reflection this morning. Our recent combined view of the Cat’s Eye Nebula is a testament to what humanity can achieve when nations unite behind a shared scientific purpose. No single country,

    In Euclid’s view, the arcs and filaments of the nebula’s bright central region are situated within a halo of colourful fragments of gas zooming away from the star 🌬️ Meanwhile, Hubble’s data reveal concentric shells and jets of high-speed gas and dense knots sculpted by shock

    Our ESA/Hubble Picture of the Month features one cosmic eye 👁️ spied by two observatories! The Cat’s Eye Nebula (NGC 6543) is one of the most visually intricate remnants of a dying star. In 1995, Hubble revealed structures in it that helped us understand how planetary nebulae
    Two images of a planetary nebula in space. The image to the left, labelled “Euclid & Hubble”, shows the whole nebula and its surroundings. A star in the very centre is surrounded by white bubbles and loops of gas, all shining with a powerful blue light. Farther away a broken ring of red and blue gas clouds surrounds the nebula. The background shows many stars and distant galaxies. A white box indicates the centre of the nebula and this region is the image to the right, labelled “Hubble”. It shows the multi-layered bubbles, pointed jets and circular shells of gas that make up the nebula, as well as the central star, in greater detail.

    On this Christmas Eve, the Universe has offered us a beautiful reminder of wonder, patience, and perspective ✨ Galaxy NGC 646 sparkles in this new image from ESA’s Euclid space telescope. On a night devoted to reflection, connection, and hope, Euclid reminds us how far
