Euclid Mission: Launching on SpaceX Rocket to Hunt Dark Matter

The Euclid spacecraft, designed to explore the dark universe and hunt for dark matter and dark energy, is scheduled to launch on July 1 aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Florida's Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. The mission aims to better understand galactic evolution, the early history of the cosmos, and the accelerating expansion of the universe. Euclid will spend approximately six years in space, with the first images expected to be released in the coming months. The spacecraft will utilize gravitational lensing and other techniques to study the effects of dark matter and dark energy.
