🚀 Wow, an Einstein Ring was found! What’s next? Proving the Earth is round? The Euclid mission is clearly on an INTENSE journey through space, bravely going where every first-year #astrophysics student has gone before. 🪐🔭

The ESA Euclid space telescope team is holding an AMA (Ask Me Anything) session on Reddit at https://www.reddit.com/r/askscience/comments/17rahok/askscience_ama_series_were_scientists_and/.

Let's post our questions there, which will be answered by project scientists between 15 and 17 CET (9-11 ET).

The first engineering images from #ESA’s #Euclid mission are set to be released on Monday (July 31, 2023), which will provide new insights into the mysteries of the cosmos. The goal is to help us understand the nature of dark matter and dark energy, and how they impact the course of the universe.

How can one really be sure that #ESAEuclid is now a real #space 🛰️ mission? Well, it is once it has gone up on the historic named mission board in the control room at #ESA operations center ESOC in Darmstadt, Germany.

And it now has! 🎉🍾

#astrodon #astronimy #DarkEnergy #DarkMatter #EuclidMission

The #EuclidConsortium would like to thank everyone at #ESA and #SpaceX making the launch of #ESAEuclid possible on this short timescale.

1 year ago we didn't have a launcher - as of today the #EuclidMission is on its way to L2 and great science ahead!

Congratulations @ec_euclid on the successful launch and separation of the #EuclidSpaceTelescope !!! I think any time something you've worked on (or care deeply about) launches into space, this is when you can't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Good luck with the hard work of spacecraft and instrument checkout! I can't wait to see what #ESAEuclid teaches us about dark matter and dark energy!
#astronomy #Euclid #EuclidMission #EuclidConsortium

For those following the #EuclidMission launch development. It looks like the hashtags #Euclid #EuclidConsortium and #EuclidSpaceTelescope are also in use. It appears that @ec_euclid is the official account for the consortium.

Liftoff #euclid #euclidmission 🎉 🚀

In case anyone is wondering why some of us #exoplanet #scientists are interested in today's launch of #ESAEuclid, here's a link to a recent #WhitePaper that the #EuclidMission Exoplanet Science Working Group posted a few days ago. In it we explain how Euclid could help the #nasa #RomanMission to test planet formation theories, hunt and confirm the existence and nature of free floating planets, and possibly make the first discovery of #exomoons - moons around #exoplanets

How to Watch #SpaceX Launch the #EuclidMission to Study the #DarkUniverse

The European Space Agency mission will record images of billions of #galaxies to create a cosmic map spanning space and time.

SpaceX is targeting Saturday, July 1 for Falcon 9’s launch at 11:12 a.m. ET (15:12 UTC). If needed, a backup opportunity is available Sunday, July 2 at the same time.

#EuclidMission examinará la luz visible e infrarroja de galaxias distantes mediante dos instrumentos científicos a bordo, el VIS y el NISP.

Estos instrumentos medirán las posiciones exactas y las formas de las galaxias en luz visible y su corrimiento al rojo en luz infrarroja.

It’s one of those days again – at ESA’s Mission Operations Centre in Darmstadt & TV done for BBC, Deutsche Welle, & ITV, with the World Service to come & more.

Good to see so much interest in the #EuclidMission & its aim to discover more about Dark Matter & Dark Energy.

And also to see how my metaphors attempting to explain these elusive phenomena evolve during the day 🙂👍

#SciComm #Astrodon #Caturday 😺

Was due to be on BBC Radio 4’s Today in the morning to talk about the #EuclidMission.

It’s a widely listened-to & influential programme, & always brings good attention to ESA’s missions.

But have just been told that something’s come up & I’ve been shuffled off the schedule.

If I find out that it’s the story about Farage taking half a million from Russia Today, I shall be livid. He’s screwed up enough of my life already.

Then again, I shall also laugh like a drain 🤪

Plus I get a lie in 🙂

“We’re just normal cats. We’re just innocent cats.” 😺

Tigger testing post-return leniency to the limits by making a bed out of the clean laundry basket 😬

And this will have to serve as an early #Caturday picture, as I’ll be heading to Darmstadt soon for tomorrow’s #EuclidMission launch 🚀😾

#HackerTDog

PSA for journalists ahead of tomorrow’s #EuclidMission launch – we’re happy to do interviews to answer specific questions about the mission, its science goals, & its technology 👍

But please don’t send us long laundry lists of broad backgrounder questions about dark energy, the universe, & everything 🙄

Questions betraying the fact that you’ve done no research & that you want us to answer by email in a few hours time so you can meet your deadline ✍️

We are not here to write your articles 😡

#ESAEuclid just before encapsulation in the Falcon 9 fairing 🚀:

#EuclidMission #DarkMatter #DarkEnery

With ESA’s new cosmology probe, the #EuclidMission, now less than two days from launch, the sentinel of its illustrious predecessor, Planck, exits stage left 🕺

Jan Tauber, whose sterling work as project scientist for our 2009-2013 CMB mission formed the backbone of his more than 30 years with the Agency, retires this week.

Thank you, Jan 🙇‍♂️

#ESAEuclid launch 🚀 now 2️⃣ days away. These were the reactions when a number of #EuclidMission scientists and engineers for the first time encountered the fully assembled spacecraft 🛰️ in February, before shipping to #CapeCanaveral:

#astronomy #DarkEnergy #DarkMatter

The #EuclidMission media round begins: BBC News just now, WIRED this evening, Deutsche Welle on Saturday morning, & likely much more to come.

Lots of metaphor conjuring to convey how a telescope measuring billions of galaxy shapes, optical & infrared brightnesses & colours, distances, lookback times, & clustering over one third of the sky will help us understand the properties & influence of dark matter & dark energy in our Universe.

Launch 15:11UTC on Saturday.

#Astrodon #SpaceScience

⌛ Countdown, now only 3️⃣ days until Saturday, 1 July, the target launch date 🚀 for #ESAEuclid. Launch time: 15:11 UTC = 11:11am EDT (Cape Canaveral) = 17:11 CEST

More prep completed: the #EuclidMission satellite has been mated with its Falcon 9 adapter onto the so-called "Payload Attach Fitting". With this, Euclid will be encapsulated in the payload fairing.

While writing about #ESAEuclid publication 📖: if you are interested in more #ESAEuclid #cosmology and fundamental #physics then I can recommend the article by our Theory Science Working Group (warning: 300+ pages):

#EuclidMission

Did you ask yourself: "What is #Euclid, actually?"

Well, to get an answer we asked this question to scientists and engineers in the #EuclidConsortium: "What is Euclid?"

(Re-post)

Our new #EuclidConsortium website will be our main hub for communicating news & information about the #EuclidMission to the world.

Do you want a primer on the mission? Go to our Mission tab and read about the telescope, instruments, surveys, and simulations.

Our contractual launch window with #SpaceX opens in 15 day, July 1st!

While we are waiting for a confirmation of the actual launch date in the next days, here's a description of what we are actually launching: the #Euclid #spacecraft, its #payload, the #telescope, and our two #instruments #VIS and #NISP.

In July we will launch the #Euclid #spacecraft, but this week we already re-launched our #EuclidConsortium website:

https://www.euclid-ec.org

It has been completely overhauled and now provides up-to-date primers on science, mission information, a Blog, press material, and a growing set of images. Visit us!

Happy to announce that the website of the #EuclidConsortium (@ec_euclid) has been re-launched with a complete structural, technical, and - most important - content overhaul: https://euclid-ec.org

For everything #EuclidMission #Euclid please have a look, there'll be blog-posts, infos or scientists and press, growing image galleries and so forth.

20 days exactly until opening of #Euclid's contractual launch window. 8 days until @ec_euclid annual meeting in Copenhagen. Less than half a year until we'll have science data.

And 1 day until we relaunch the
#EuclidConsortium website!
