ESA's Euclid Will Reveal First Full Color Photo Albums, Of Deep Cosmos Tomorrow...


In honor of the big reveal show scheduled for midday on the Continent tomorrow (about 7 am in Chicago), we've adapted a NASA image -- one that stitches together an older Hubble shot in visible light, with Euclid -- and more recently, the JWST (outside the spectrum visible to the human eye, but then adapted into colors we can perceive).

Enjoy -- but here is the latest from the ESA team:

. . .The broadcast will showcase five new mesmerising portraits of our Universe. Several experts will guide us through the images and tell us about the science hidden within.

The same day, the data of Euclid’s Early Release Observations will be made public, accompanied by ten forthcoming science papers. They come less than a year after the space telescope’s launch, and roughly six months after it returned its first full-colour images of the cosmos. . . .


Now you know. Onward, grinning -- out into the Spring air, with a mountain bike ride by the lake. . . warming to past 75 degrees, in the sunshine now.
