لماذا يهم

The Euclid space telescope is designed to observe distant galaxies but has captured a detailed image of the Milky Way's galactic bulge.

حجم الخط

The European Space Agency’s (ESA) Euclid space telescope has captured the largest and most detailed visible-light image ever obtained of the Milky Way's galactic bulge, the central region of our galaxy. The image is a mosaic containing more than 60 million stars, as well as nebulae and star clusters. It will allow scientists to confirm the possible presence of exoplanets using a microlensing technique and measure their masses with greater precision.
