Euclid Space Telescope Captures Largest Visible-Light Image of Milky Way's Galactic Bulge
L'essentiel
The ESA's Euclid space telescope has captured the largest and most detailed visible-light image of the Milky Way's galactic bulge, containing over 60 million stars, to aid in exoplanet detection and mass measurement via microlensing.

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