United Kingdom: As the eagerly awaited European space probe, Euclid, is ready to launch on a game-changing mission, scientists expect to uncover the mysteries of the cosmos in the coming weeks. It intends to probe into the mysterious worlds of dark matter and dark energy, two enigmatic components that have long escaped our understanding, with a huge budget of €1 billion ($1.10 billion).
Scientists must make assumptions about how dark matter and dark energy might affect galaxies and stars because its fundamental nature has remained hidden from astronomers’ gaze. However, anticipation is great that we will finally learn more about these enigmatic events with the launch of the Euclid mission on July 1.
According to Durham University Professor Mathilde Jouzac, gravitational lensing brought on by dark matter will tell a lot about its make-up. This information will then aid in determining the direction of the search for dark matter particles on Earth.
The scientific community anticipated a breakthrough in our comprehension of the fundamental makeup of the cosmos with the launch of Euclid. Euclid holds the key to unlocking the mysteries of dark matter and dark energy, bringing us closer to a more thorough understanding of our vast and awe-inspiring universe as the cosmic curtain is gradually peeled back.
