According to a recent report on the website of Britain's “New Scientist” magazine, the European Space Agency's Euclid Space Telescope, which was launched in July last year, is currently working to draw up the largest and most accurate map of the universe to date. The first image of the project was recently released at the International Astronautical Congress held in Italy. European Space Agency scientific director Carol Mondale revealed at the International Astronautical Congress that this mosaic image, made of 260 images stitched together, was taken by the Euclid telescope during a two-week observation period in April. The resolution reached 20.8 billion pixels and captured the brilliant images of more than 14 million galaxies. But for the vast universe, this is just the tip of the iceberg, accounting for 1% of the final cosmic map.
