Europe's Euclid telescope begins its quest to map the cosmos and reveal its missing components.
Europe's Euclid telescope is ready to begin its quest to understand the greatest mysteries in the Universe.Over the next six years, Euclid will survey a third of the heavens to get some clues about the nature of so-called dark matter and dark energy.
Neither dark matter nor dark energy are directly detectable. Our only hope of gaining some understanding is to trace their subtle signals in the things we can see. "We are human, we want to understand everything around us; whether that was as ancient people looking at the night sky and drawing constellations on our caves, or trying to understand whether the Sun would come back after the winter - we seek that knowledge and insight," she told BBC News.
The €1.4bn Euclid telescope went into space in July. Since then, engineers have been fine-tuning it. "They are fantastic," said Prof Isobel Hook, who worked on one the teams in the 1990s that first discovered the Universe was expanding at a faster and faster pace.
