Euclid Captures Milky Way’s Crowded Core in Record-Setting Visible-Light Mosaic

The European Space Agency's Euclid space telescope produced the largest high‑resolution visible-light image of the Milky Way’s bright center—a nine‑exposure mosaic covering a region larger than the Moon and capturing about 60 million stars over 26 hours; color was added from the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope. While it won’t directly reveal new exoplanets, the data will help microlensing measurements weigh known and future planets and advance studies of dark matter and dark energy.
