Euclid Update!

Posted in Euclid with tags , , , on November 6, 2023 by telescoper

Just one more sleep before the first actual science images from European Space Agency’s Euclid mission are released tomorrow. These are called the Early Release Observations (EROs) – they aren’t part of the full survey, but are to demonstrate the performance of the telescope and detectors.

There has been a slight change to the schedule advertised here so the press conference will now take place on Tuesday 7th November at 14.15 Central European (not Summer) Time, CET, which is 13.15 GMT. For more details, see here.

You can watch the press conference on the new ESA Web TV channel or on the Youtube Live Stream. I’ll post a quick update tomorrow after the images go public.

Euclid Update!

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.
