So long Gaia. Your data is invaluable for ensuring @ec-euclid.bsky.social data all sky photometric calibration. Looking forward to DR4 next year !

#ICYMI, #ESAEuclid dropped its first batch of survey data, including a preview of its very own deep fields! 🤩

This video walks you through some of the hidden treasures the #DarkUniverse detective 🕵️ has uncovered. And this is still just the beginning. www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXCB...

Can't get enough of @ec-euclid.bsky.social?

Here are three "key science areas" the consortium identified from the results today and wanted to talk more about:

- Active Galactic Nuclei
- Galaxy Morphology
- Strong Lensing

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)
