Seeing this mission go to space.” The Euclid Telescope was carried by SpaceX’s Falcon 9 (Falcon 9) from Cape Canaveral (Cape Canaveral) at 11:12 am on the 1st, Florida. Canaveral) lifted off. Shortly thereafter, upon separation from the rocket, it sent its first signal as previously scheduled. The Euclid telescope was originally planned to be launched into space by a Russian Soyuz rocket, but Russia invaded Ukraine in February last year and was sanctioned by Western countries, and then withdrew the launch system.

Euclid will join the James Webb Space Telescope after a month in space. Telescope), came to the “second Lagrange point” (second Lagrange point) about 1.5 million kilometers away from the earth. From there, the Euclid telescope will create the largest map of the universe ever made, covering more than a third of the sky with 2 billion galaxies. By capturing light that took 10 billion years to reach Earth’s neighborhood, the map will provide a new look at 13.8 billion years of cosmic history. Mendel said: “We will uncover the mysteries of the Dark Universe.”
