With today’s #Q1Release, we get a preview of #ESAEuclid’s three Deep Fields: North, South and Fornax. 🤩

The location of the Deep Fields can be seen as the yellow patches on this all-sky view of ESA Gaia’s star map from its second data release in 2018, and ESA Planck’s dust map from 2014. (1/3)

The Cat’s Eye Nebula takes centre stage in a sparkling sea of stars and galaxies. A dot lies at the centre of the nebula, the sight of the dying star. Around it are a series of complex and colourful layers and loops of gas and dust that have been ejected by the star over time. Further away are tendrils and patches of gas and dust in various shapes and sizes that give the impression of fragments of a burst balloon frozen around the point of explosion. Millions of galaxies lie in the background. Numerous bright stars with distinct diffraction spikes are also clearly visible.

Time for a close up! 📸

Here we zoom into #ESAEuclid ‘s Deep Field North and bump into the beautiful Cat’s Eye Nebula! 😻

An amazing array of first results from #ESAEuclid!! Some of the studies on Galaxy Morphology and Gravitational Lenses also include incredible work from thousands of volunteers through @zooniverse.bsky.social , @galaxyzoo.org and
Space Warps!
