These orbits are so-called 'halo-orbits', very wide (500,000 km) around the nominal Lagrange Point 2, avoiding the zone of eclipses. More here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halo_or... #Euclid #ESA #space #solareclipse #astronomy

If you are worried about the #ESAEuclid satellite losing power during the upcoming #solareclipse, worry no more: all telescopes at Lagrange Point 2 (#Euclid and #JWST, formerly also #ESAGaia) have orbits designed to be permanently free of solar eclipses. #astronomy #space #ESA

Forecasts predict that in Euclid data even earlier quasars should be found: likely beyond z=8 (650 million years after the Big Bang) and possibly even z=9 (550 million years). #astronomy #ESAEuclid #blackholes

With this first collection, #Euclid starts dominating the search for early Universe #quasars. This is no wonder: Euclid's wide survey provides unprecedented sensitivity at wavelengths into the near-infrared, which are key to identifying these rare accreting early black holes. #astronomy

This collage with observations of the Euclid space telescope shows a grid of small, dark panels filled with tiny points and faint smudges of light. The lights vary in brightness and colour, including white, blue, yellow, and orange, with some appearing as dots and others as slightly blurred shapes. Each panel has a small label with letters and numbers at the bottom.
