In the Dark

Just a quick post to give advanced notice that, gremlins in the pointing system having been dispelled, the first actual science images from European Space Agency’s Euclid mission will be released on Tuesday 7th November at 14.00 Central European (not Summer) Time, CET. These are called the Early Release Observations (EROs) – they won’t be part of the full survey, but are just to demonstrate the performance of the telescope and detectors.

You can watch the press conference on the new ESA Web TV channel. I’ll post more about the EROs after they become public, but not before.
