Euclid discovers ancient cosmic beacons from the dawn of time, shining like a trillion suns

ESA’s Euclid space telescope has discovered 31 ancient quasars, including two record-breaking objects that shone with the brightness of a trillion Suns when the Universe was just 670 million years old. Powered by supermassive black holes, these extraordinary cosmic beacons reveal a time when the first galaxies were still taking shape.

Spettro, spettro delle mie brame

La prima grande data release del telescopio spaziale Euclid contiene 309 milioni di spettri, ricavati separando la luce delle sorgenti in tutti i suoi “colori”. Tra essi, 160 milioni saranno usati per cercare di stimare la distanza di una frazione importante delle galassie osservate dalla missione e ricostruire la struttura tridimensionale del cosmo. Ma come funziona Nisp, lo strumento che rende possibile tutto questo?

Euclid Mission Data Release Spans More Than 900 Million Galaxies

The European Space Agency has released the largest dataset yet from its Euclid space telescope, containing 1.7 petabytes of observations covering more than 900 million galaxies. "The data unveiled on Thursday covered a survey of the sky equal to about 9,500 times the size of the moon as viewed from Earth," reports Reuters. "The mission's goal is to complete the "largest-ever three-dimensional atlas of the cosmos, spanning more than a third of the sky, in 2031." From the report: "It marks a major milestone for ESA's Euclid mission and for everyone involved," said astrophysicist Valeria Pettorin
