Telescope), came to the “second Lagrange point” (second Lagrange point) regarding 1.5 million kilometers away from the earth. From there, the Euclid telescope will create the largest map of the universe ever made, covering more than a third of the sky with 2 billion galaxies. By capturing light that took 10 billion years to reach Earth’s neighborhood, the map will provide a new look at 13.8 billion years of cosmic history. Mendel said: “We will uncover the mysteries of the Dark Universe.”
