Euclid’s Cosmic Mystery Contest!

Posted in Euclid, The Universe and Stuff with tags , on May 9, 2023 by telescoper

I just saw the announcement of this competition and thought I’d share it here to encourage people to enter:

The winner gets a trip to European Space Operations Centre (ESOC) in Darmstadt which will be Mission Control for Euclid, which will be launched from Florida in July.

You can find out more about the competition, including the rules and instructions on how to enter, here.

Here are some suggestions:

You could choose to bake a cake, cross stitch, design a fabric, paint, draw, dance or anything else that comes to mind that symbolizes these proportions 5-25-70 and helps others understand just how much of the Universe we know and don’t know.

Once you have created your creation you have to put an image or a video of it on social media. For more ideas see here.

P.S. The Universe’s vital statistics of 5-25-70 would seem to present quite a challenge if someone were to design an outfit!
