The European Space Agency (ESA) is set to unveil a monumental catalogue of astronomical data generated by the revolutionary Euclid space telescope on March 19 at 11:00 AM BST / 12:00 PM CET. This release marks a significant milestone in our quest to understand the dark universe, as it features not only a collection of scientific data but also three stunning image mosaics that give us a peek into the vast cosmos.

These expansive images represent three key areas of the sky where Euclid will conduct its deeper observations over the next six years. Collectively covering 63 square degrees—which is over 300 times the area of the full Moon—these preview patches will be crucial for scientists seeking to unravel some of the most profound questions surrounding dark matter and dark energy.

On March 19, ESA will broadcast the reveal live, allowing astronomy enthusiasts and the general public to witness these extraordinary discoveries firsthand. Tune in at 12:00 PM CET to catch the premiere of a captivating video showcasing these mosaics and stunning zoom-ins on the ESA YouTube channel.

But that’s not all! For those keen to explore the images in their full glory, a press release featuring high-resolution versions will be available on the ESA website the same day. Additionally, you can dive deeper into celestial exploration with ESASky, where you can find the new images and discover the universe from the comfort of your home.
