The mission is optimized for undertaking two measurements sensitive to dark energy - weak gravitational lensing and galaxy clustering. It will also enable unprecedented advances in many other areas of astrophysics through its 15,000 square degree wide area survey. It has a 6 year nominal lifetime, and was launched July 1, 2023.

</strong> Euclid is a European Space Agency (ESA) M-class mission, with participation from NASA, to study the geometry and nature of the dark universe. It consists of a 1.2m telescope with two instruments operating at optical and near-infrared wavelengths (0.5-2 microns). The mission is optimized for undertaking two measurements sensitive to dark energy - weak gravitational lensing and galaxy clustering. It will also enable unprecedented advances in many other areas of astrophysics through its 15,000 square degree wide area survey. It has a 6 year nominal lifetime, and was launched July 1, 2023. NASA participation in Euclid includes delivery of the near-infrared detectors as well as participation in the design, data analysis and interpretation by US scientists. </p> </div> </div> <div class='col-md-3'> <div class='related_links'> <dl> <div class='sidebar_title'> Links </div> <dd> <a href="https://euclid.caltech.edu/" target="_ipac">IPAC Euclid Homepage <i class='fa fa-external-link'></i> </a></dd> <dd> <a href="http://sci.esa.int/euclid/" target="_ipac">ESA Euclid Homepage <i class='fa fa-external-link'></i> </a></dd> <dd> <a href="http://euclid.jpl.nasa.gov" target="_ipac">NASA Euclid Homepage <i class='fa fa-external-link'></i> </a></dd> <dd> <a href="http://www.euclid-ec.org/" target="_ipac">Euclid Consortium <i class='fa fa-external-link'></i> </a></dd> </dl> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class='raw raw_offset'> <p dir="ltr"> The <a href="http://www.euclid.caltech.edu/">Euclid NASA Science Center</a> at IPAC (ENSCI) is involved in providing algorithms and developing operations-quality code to be included in the near-infrared data reduction pipeline as part of the <a href="http://www.euclid-ec.org">Euclid Consortium's</a> Science Ground Segment. In addition, IPAC will operate the US Science Data Center (SDC-US; a node in the distributed data processing system). Using the knowledge gained through these activities, ENSCI will support the US research community by providing expert insight into the Euclid surveys, data processing, calibration, and products. ENSCI staff are available to assist investigations that intend to use data from the Euclid mission. ENSCI also provides a public repository for up-to-date information, documentation, detector characterization data, tools and online tutorials.</p> <div class="image_container"> <div class="aspect_ratio" style="position:relative; width:100%;height:0;padding-bottom:56.25%"> <iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/U60LhdfgDGk?si=CaSchaSRMYCO4Ig1" style="position:absolute;width:100%;height:100%;left:0;top:0"></iframe></div> <div class="caption">  </div> </div> <p>  </p> </div> </div> <div class='clearfix'></div> </div> </div> </div> <div class='fluid_box news_box'> <div class='container'> <div class='row'> <div class='col-md-12'> <h4> Mission News </h4> </div> </div> <div class='row'> <div class='col-md-4'> <div class='card_box project_news_card'> <a href="https://euclid.caltech.edu/news/egip24" target="_IPAC_euclid"><div class='card_image'> <img alt="Nasa_logo" src="https://euclid.caltech.edu/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsibWVzc2FnZSI6IkJBaHBBazhHIiwiZXhwIjpudWxsLCJwdXIiOiJibG9iX2lkIn19--2a40538532b77be324f0365f1ff119bf541253f6/NASA_logo.png" /> <div class='card_title'> <h5 class='text_shadow'> NASA selects first Euclid general investigators </h5> </div> </div> <p class='small text_flair'> News Release • February 19th, 2025 </p> <p> NASA's Euclid General Investigator Program (EGIP) funds basic research focused on public data from the Euclid... </p> </a><div class='clearfix'></div> </div> </div> <div class='col-md-4'> <div class='card_box project_news_card'> <a href="https://euclid.caltech.edu/news/euclid-discovers-einstein-ring-in-our-cosmic-backyard" target="_IPAC_euclid"><div class='card_image'> <img alt="Euclid-ews-ngc6505-einsteinring_embargoed.width-1320" src="https://euclid.caltech.edu/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsibWVzc2FnZSI6IkJBaHBBa1FHIiwiZXhwIjpudWxsLCJwdXIiOiJibG9iX2lkIn19--46c98d306bd9bbb6f93558ee6fbe4e5b1da2d02d/Euclid-EWS-NGC6505-EinsteinRing_embargoed.width-1320.jpg" /> <div class='card_title'> <h5 class='text_shadow'> Euclid Discovers Einstein Ring in Our Cosmic Backyard </h5> </div> </div> <p class='small text_flair'> News Release • February 10th, 2025 </p> <p> The phenomenon appears to encircle the center of a well-studied elliptical galaxy called NGC 6505, around 590 million... </p> </a><div class='clearfix'></div> </div> </div> <div class='col-md-4'> <div class='card_box project_news_card'> <a href="https://euclid.caltech.edu/news/euclid-aas245" target="_IPAC_euclid"><div class='card_image'> <img alt="Screenshot%202025-01-07%20at%201.03.28%20pm" src="https://euclid.caltech.edu/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsibWVzc2FnZSI6IkJBaHBBZ1lHIiwiZXhwIjpudWxsLCJwdXIiOiJibG9iX2lkIn19--eba8a9d855c7bfc1e3f105ef7629f71ec6340d9d/Screenshot%202025-01-07%20at%201.03.28%20PM.png" /> <div class='card_title'> <h5 class='text_shadow'> Euclid at AAS 245 </h5> </div> </div> <p class='small text_flair'> News Release • January 7th, 2025 </p> <p> At the American Astronomical Society's 245th meeting (January 12-16, 2025), ENSCI is organizing a special session on... </p> </a><div class='clearfix'></div> </div> </div> </div> <div class='row'> <div class='col-md-4'> <div class='card_box project_news_card'> <a href="https://euclid.caltech.edu/news/euclid-image-of-star-nurseries-converted-to-a-cosmic-jingle" target="_IPAC_euclid"><div class='card_image'> <img alt="Cosmic_jingles_listen_to_euclid_s_image_of_m78_card_full" src="https://euclid.caltech.edu/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsibWVzc2FnZSI6IkJBaHBBZ0FHIiwiZXhwIjpudWxsLCJwdXIiOiJibG9iX2lkIn19--884de0d9be634d4e464ae5742d2b43e014b4c682/Cosmic_jingles_listen_to_Euclid_s_image_of_M78_card_full.jpg" /> <div class='card_title'> <h5 class='text_shadow'> Euclid image of star nurseries converted to a cosmic jingle </h5> </div> </div> <p class='small text_flair'> News Release • January 3rd, 2025 </p> <p> A fun, exciting new way to explore astronomical data!
