Gentlepeople-

As a follow-up to George's excellent presentation today, I have found information regarding the recent space probe that I asked him about.

It is the Euclid space telescope launched July 1, 2023, on a Space X rocket that George mentioned,  and is a project developed by the ESA (European Space Agency). It resides at the L2 point in space (the same parking lot where the James Webb telescope is located). Its purpose is to map a large portion of the universe outside the Milky Way and to gather data about the accelerating expansion of the universe; thus hopefully giving us more knowledge about Dark Matter and especially Dark Energy. A few early pictures from this telescope have been released by the ESA.

More information can be found at a number of ESA websites, such as:

Enjoy!

-Dick
