#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

Who's seen all three types of solar eclipses? 🌑 Total ⭕ Annular 🌙 Partial On 12 august you've got a chance to see a total solar eclipse or a partial one, depending on where you are. 1/3 🔭 🧪 #EuropeanSolarEclipse

Last week, we announced that #ESA and the #Euclid Consortium released a massive image of the #MilkyWay's heart. This 'Q2' data release contains images of 60 million stars. A great primer on this image comes from the EC's Chris Pattison: www.youtube.com/watch?v=jfU_... #ESAEuclid #astronomy #space

No less than 60 million stars in one image. It's possible thanks to ESA's Euclid mission. For just one day, Euclid turned its gaze to the crowded heart of the Milky Way and captured the largest, most detailed photo ever taken of our galaxy's centre in visible light. Let's dive deeper 👇 🔭 🧪 ☄️ 1/8

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.
