On a mission to shed light on two mysterious cosmic phenomena known as dark energy and dark matter, the European Space Agency’s Euclid telescope launched into space from Florida, USA, on Saturday, and the mission, which costs $ 1.4 billion and will last at least six years, is expected to shed more light. It sheds light on astrophysics and may lead to a shift in understanding of the nature of gravity itself. Sharjah 24 – Archyde.com: The European Space Agency’s orbital telescope launched into space from the US state of Florida on Saturday, on a mission to shed light on two mysterious cosmic phenomena known as dark energy and dark matter, two of the invisible forces that scientists say represent 95% of the universe. The telescope called Euclid, or Euclid, was launched in reference to the famous Greek mathematician who is called the father of engineering, inside the cargo compartment of the Falcon 9 rocket of SpaceX, at about 1500 GMT from Cape Canaveral Station. And NASA is broadcasting the launch live. The $1.4 billion mission, which will last at least six years, is expected to shed more light on astrophysics and possibly lead to a shift in understanding the nature of gravity itself. As planned, Euclid will separate from the rocket shortly after its launch into space, and the telescope will embark on a month-long journey to its destination in solar orbit about 1.6 million kilometers from Earth, a location where the gravity between Earth and the sun is stable. From there, Euclid will explore The evolution of what astrophysicists refer to as the “dark universe” is using a wide-angle telescope to scan galaxies ten billion light-years away from Earth across an enormous expanse of sky. An invisible but theoretically influential cosmic that is believed to give the universe its shape and structure, and the second is dark energy, a mysterious force that is believed to explain why the expansion of the universe accelerated long ago, something scientists came to in the 1990s.
