With our first data release in November just around the corner, scientists and engineers from across the UK will soon be on the road again! Catch us at @newscientist.com's New Scientist Live, 10-12th October 2026, for the return of Euclid, the #darkuniversedetective 🕵️‍♀️
A poster that says "We're exhibiting at New Scientist Live" with the dates 10-12 October. The poster has a purple background with triangular yellow, blue and purple shapes.One of our volunteers of the Euclid exhibit at the Royal Society Summer Science exhibition is standing and wearing a white Meta Quest 3 VR headset. They are wearing a white t-shirt and green lanyard, standing in front of a photo of the galactic centre, taken by Euclid. The photo is displayed on LED backlit fabric and contains 60 million stars amongst pink, orange and  yellow gas and dust.

#CitizenScience afficionados, #Euclid scientists would like to again solicit your input for classifying #GravitationalLensing systems. We need a sprint finish before the science analysis can be completed. 18000 galaxies that are maybe acting as lenses are waiting for your eyes and brains. 🔭 #ESA

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.

From depictions of science on the silver screen to what black holes look like up close and the art and ingenuity of feathers, here's what you can expect from the packed line up of talks and activities at the #SummerScience Exhibition this week: bit.ly/4vzOTA2
A black and white film still of an anthropomorphic moon with facial features, and a rocket crashed into its right eye. A blurry image of a ring-like structure. The bottom of the ring is bright orange, with the top being a blurrier red and the centre being dark. Colourful peacock feathers sit in a pile.

Erm... I might have just got a little bit too carried away on the BBC World Service, waxing lyrical about the gorgeousness of the @ec-euclid.bsky.social image of the heart of the Milky Way: "swirling golden cloudy fuzziness" "the cosmos scattered with glitter" 😂 ☺️🔭 📷: www.esa.int/Science_Expl...
From ESA: A dense field of tiny stars fills this square image taken by the European Space Agency’s Euclid space telescope. The lower and central areas are dominated by bright yellow and gold colours, forming a textured background similar to fine glitter or sand. Dark brown and black patches cut irregularly through the yellow regions, like ink stains or clouds of smoke. Toward the upper left, the colours shift to purple and reddish tones, blending gently into the surrounding star field. Small blue points of light are scattered across the image.
