The European Space
Agency (ESA) has given the green light to the Euclid mission to be launched in
2020 with the aim to study the mysterious dark energy that makes up 73% of the
universe. The Euclid mission will feature a 1.2-meter telescope that will nourish
a chamber diameter of 576 million pixels with very high resolution images of
galaxies 2,000 million, equivalent to the Hubble telescope.
With these data, and
using infrared technology, scientists will develop a mapping of large
structures in the universe and measure the distance between galaxies captured
by the camera.
