AskScience AMA Series: We're scientists and engineers behind ESA's Euclid space mission, which has just delivered its first five dazzling images. Ask us anything!
Post Body

On 7 November, ESA's Euclid space mission revealed its first full-colour images of the cosmos: https://www.esa.int/Science_Exploration/Space_Science/Euclid/Euclid_s_first_images_the_dazzling_edge_of_darkness

Never before has a telescope been able to create such razor-sharp astronomical images across such a large patch of the sky, and looking so far into the distant Universe. These five images illustrate Euclid's full potential; they show that the telescope is ready to create the most extensive 3D map of the Universe yet, to uncover the hidden secrets of dark matter and dark energy.

Join us for an AMA session 15 and 17 CET (9-11 ET) with a group of the many Euclid experts, from the engineers that got the telescope ready for this milestone to the scientists that aim to investigate the data behind the images.

Answering questions will be:

  • Prof. Herve Bouy, Université de Bordeaux, France /u/Hervebouy
  • Jean-Charles Cuillandre, Euclid Consortium scientist, the CEA Paris-Saclay in France
  • John Hoar, Science Operations Development Manager
  • Assoc. Prof. Søren Larsen, Department of Astrophysics/IMAPP, Radboud University, the Netherlands /u/soerenlarsen
  • René Laureijs, ESA's Euclid Project Scientist
  • Prof. Francine Marleau, University of Innsbruck, Austria /u/fmarleau
  • Davide Massari, INAF - Osservatorio di Astrofisica e scienza dello spazio, Bologna, Italy /u/davidemassari
  • Maëlie Mondelin, PhD at Departement d'Astrophysique, CEA Paris-Saclay, France /u/mmondelin
  • Giuseppe Racca, ESA's Euclid Project Manager
  • Teymoor Saifollahi, Postdoctoral Researcher, Kapteyn Astronomical Institute, the Netherlands /u/TeymoorSaifollahi
  • Micha Schmidt, ESA Head of Euclid Operations Unit /u/Micha_the_one
