Euclid UK

Congratulations! 🥳

😍🥳

A time-lapse movie of our @eucliduk.bsky.social stand at the @goodwoodrrc.bsky.social Festival of Speed Future Lab last weekend!

Visitors were zooming into data from ESA's Euclid Space Telescope, and using their body to make a gravitational lens to learn how astronomers search for dark matter.

Out at Lagrange Point 2, sometimes I get a little closer to the James Webb Space Telescope and give them a little wave. But our orbits around L2 mean we’re not destined to meet. Probably for the best… 😭 #Euclid #BFF

Euclid Q1 Interviews - Euclid - Cosmos

Who's behind the research using Euclid data?

Meet some of the scientists who work with data collected by our #DarkUniverse 🕵️ detective, ICYMI 👉 www.cosmos.esa.int/web/euclid/q... 🧪

…did someone say bonus content? 🔎 #PetsOfEuclid

Disclaimer: No guinea pigs harmed in the making of this post. 😃

Would you like to see an #AnimalsOfEuclid series…? 🐶🐱🦆🐟🐴🐭🐠

Thanks again to @profstephenwilkins.bsky.social and Dr. Will Roper from @sussex.ac.uk for building this Gravitational Lensing interactive demo, which will feature in many future outreach visits! The guinea pigs probably won’t be making an appearance, however…

#GuineaPigsOfEuclid

A large screen displaying a Euclid image of stars and galaxies in the background, with two guinea pigs in the foreground looking at the screen. On the left is Guinevere, who is ginger/brown and white in colour. On the right is Morgana, who is black in colour and tilting her head upwards with one eye visible towards the camera.

Did you know it’s #NationalGuineaPigAppreciationDay?

Meet Guinevere and Morgana, who couldn’t make the Goodwood #FestivalOfSpeed last week and decided to catch up on all the lensing they missed!

Thanks again to @esa.int and @sussex.ac.uk for creating and supporting the exhibition, and all the #HumansOfEuclid across the UK that have taken part and shared the #DarkUniverse with tens of thousands of people this weekend!

So that’s Euclid at #FOS 2025. We hope to expand our outreach programme in the coming years, improving access to the dark universe for the public along the way. Where would you like to see us next time…? 🚗

And while we’re at it, why not simulate a Universe too? 💻

You can become the matter in between Euclid and the background galaxies, distorting the light as it travels towards the telescope and creating a gravitational lens! 🔎

Get hands on with the Zooniverse’s @galaxyzoo.org and become a citizen scientist. 🌀

You can get up close with Euclid’s first piece of its map of the Universe! 🗺️

Take a whistle stop tour of @esa.int’s Euclid mission exhibit at this year’s GoodWood #FestivalOfSpeed with James, an Outreach Co-ordinator at The University of Edinburgh… (1/6) 🧵

Our evening shift Euclid team, 6 of us, smiling for the camera in front of a large LED screen showing a Euclid image.

And that’s a wrap for another day…see you tomorrow #FestivalOfSpeed!

Pleasure to be back at the Goodwood Festival of Speed Future Lab!

Tim Peake!

Had such a fun time explaining the wonders of @eucliduk.bsky.social to those at @goodwoodrrc.bsky.social yesterday! Time to spot some F1 cars today! 🏎️

(If you’ve spotted a couple of typos in our posts recently, it’s because our account admin is ridiculously excited to join the team there today…😅)

🔭🧪😍

Some of the Euclid team at the Euclid exhibit. Five people are standing together smiling for the camera. One person is knelt in front of them, also smiling for the camera. Behind them in the background is a spiral galaxy, one of Euclid’s images displayed on a huge screen.

It’s Day 3 at the the @goodwoodrrc.bsky.social #FestivalofSpeed Future Lab.

Our #HumansOfEuclid have had an early start, back and ready to share the mysteries of the dark Universe all over again! 🌌🕸️

The universe is in progress

The exhibit from above. You can see the Euclid lensing simulator on the left, and Steve giving an overview on the right

Here we have Tim Peake, checking out the future lab.
