Following a successful launch from Cape Canaveral on July 1, the European Space Agency’s (ESA) Euclid Space Telescope has safely reached the Sun-Earth Lagrange point 2 (L2). This crucial location, approximately 1.5 million kilometres from Earth, allows for steady and precise astronomical observations. The journey sees Euclid joining the ranks of the renowned James Webb and Gaia Space Telescopes already in the L2 orbit. Having reached its destination, Euclid has now embarked on an essential commissioning phase. Over the next three months, its sophisticated instruments will be prepared for the operations that are set to revolutionize our understanding of the … Continue reading Euclid Space Telescope Set on L2 Orbit for Dark Matter Exploration
