See the Universe like NEVER before: UK scientists use the Euclid spacecraft to take the largest images of the cosmos ever taken from space - revealing a 'jellyfish' nebula and a clone of the Milky Way Euclid is on six-year mission to create the most extensive 3D map of the universe It's released another five never-before-seen images of galaxies, nebula and more By Jonathan Chadwick For Mailonline Published: 11:00 BST, 23 May 2024 | Updated: 11:09 BST, 23 May 2024 e-mail 1 View comments Stunning new photos from the European Space Agency's (ESA's) Euclid probe show the largest images of the cosmos ever taken. The UK-backed spacecraft, which blasted off from Florida last summer , returns five new snaps from its vantage point about one million miles from Earth. Among them is a shot of a spiral galaxy 30 million light-years away that looks like our own Milky Way and a beautiful cloud of faraway gas and dust shaped like a jellyfish.
There's also distant 'galaxy clusters' – several galaxies held together by gravity – captured in 'exquisite' detail thanks to the probe's infrared sensors. This second trove comes six months after Euclid returned its first full-colour images of the cosmos .
