You walked on the Moon ? I though just Armstrong and Aldrin😢

It's fascinating, it's interesting, it's extraordinary, but the great thing about the universe is that it is incredibly beautiful Thank you for this, Chris

Absolutely Incredible

"Beautiful targets to capture our imagination and inspiration" you said it......

Wow, Chris! You did a great job with this and the previous Euclid video. I learned so much. Keep up the great work!

Cheers Chris… thanks for the update 👍👍👍

Amazing! Thank you! I love your videos! ❤

Great images. Thanks for putting the arrow on one to show what you were mentioning.

6:33 Is it my imagination or are their faint structures like lines of stars, going top down and leading slightly to the right, through the central mass? I saw Dr Becky's excitement over these images but couldn't figure out why. Then KZread suggests your video and I am knocked out and excited also. Well done on making apparent what the joy is all about :-)

so many stars and galaxies it hurts my head, I need to lie down!!

Imagine showing these shots to Galileo Galilei ! With EUCLID & JWST, how spoilt we are. Amazing stuff, well done ESA.

Thank you! Wonderful explanations!

Absolutely wonderful video! Thank you! I'm so thrilled to see the Euclid Horsehead Nebula photo! I watch Orion nightly through ny window, and it's facinatung knowing there are planets & new stars in rhat nebula! The gorgeous Spiral Galaxy looks like a beautiful budding pink rose to me!! Thank you very much Dr. Pattison for you expertise!!!🌝

Many thanks, Chris, for sharing these first truly stunning colour photos taken by the Euclid Telescope. They convey a totally different view of the observable universe. One question, what causes the ‘bubbles’ of the remnants of a supernova to have such a beautiful purple glow?

Great job 👏🏼 excellent photos and summary 😅👍🤔🧐👀😳😎 10:09

Subbed! Thank you for your fascinating work and explanations!

Very nice video, very informative.

Simply incredible. Such variations in our visible universe that at this time it seems to be infinite.

I love your videos Chris! Tx

Amazing 🤩

Realy I like this video so so much like you can imagine

Perseus cluster of galaxies is stunning... nevertheless is the best among besties...👍🏼👍🏼

All telescopes have there own specialties. Euclid definitely is an awesome telesope. But ppl dont understand that while Euclid takes more of a wide field view of the universe in less time than hubble and JWST. Its detail is beyond great for its particular assignment. But each telescope has its pros and cons. By the way the ELT....when it comes online will put out some breath taking images as well.

Chris? JWST and now Euclid - guess you picked the right time to become an astrophysisist 😊

The images are truly amazing, but it's the data that matters.

Realy I like this video so so much its so interestyng

A lot more data Euclid! 🎈

You're going to have to do a video between the difference this telescope and the Vera Rubin Telescope.

Amazing views, I wonder how many people are there in each galaxy visible?

Thanks for sharing. I wish YT knew how to display and share lossless, zoom-able images and videos.

nice vid! you might want to put your mike closer to make reflections less audible

👋🏼

Question, why is this a wide field telescope? I looked at the F-ratio, Diameter 1.2 m (3 ft 11 in). Focal length 24.5 m (80 ft), which puts it roughly at F 20, similar to the Hubble ST. Is it because it is a Korsch telescope that gives it the wide field of few? I couldn't find an optical diagram of this telescope design.

Very good and informative. I write sci-fi stories. The possibilities of what's out there are phenomenal.

The purple bubbles look like jelly fish

Anyone notice the prominent 'blue-coloured blobs' found throughout the Euclid image of the distant Perseus cluster of galaxies? (It's Astronomy Image of the Day for today, 9th September 2023) I swear I'm seeing a bunch of these blueish objects scattered seemingly randomly throughout the imagery but I'm not sure if this is some sort of artifact of Euclid's imaging process or something else.

When will Euclid data/images be integrated into the skyEsa data?

you are killing us with all the ads, not just you but all the utube channels, good stuff generally but way too many ads

Distant and nearby universe? What does that mean?

Absolutely stunning images, but you still can't convince me that we are the only "intelligent" life forms in the Cosmos and beyond.

Euclid's survey mission is maping galaxies of our universe at acceptable range, like Gaia did same survey maping mission for stars in our galaxy Milky way. So ithat doesnt wait Euclid to take detail images of galaxies like James Webb at infared instead maping them at a wide range. Different mission', different perspective...So we have to wait maybe 2 more years for really appreciate Euclid..

@@smeeself Ahhh sorry, I understand your question now. Sorry for seeming patronising. You are quite right. At 8:24 there seem to be background stars and they should also be moving. I wonder if they are all just background noise? Unlikely. The image is representative of software problems and perhaps ought to be taken with a pinch of salt. I mean, look at those groups of 'stars' in a line all over the place, they can hardly be real. Your backyard telescope instinct is correct :-)

@@smeeself re: multiple exposures. I thought that maybe there was a background shot that the telescope had to navigate through in order to find it's target. This image is a composite generated by the telescope under faulty software conditions perhaps? Like you say though, let's wait for a better and more definitive answer :-)

All pictures recorded with infrared cameras are not vissualising what you would see with your own eyes, if you were there. The pictures represent an animation of the temperature differences

Is this telescope also a good astroid hunter?

I just wonder. What is the blue dots? And in the end the astronomers only focus on 30X20 pixels 🙂

This telescope will not discover anything, but should help to reveal the universe to us in a new, clearer, and more detailed way. It is we that must discover new ways of thinking about what we see. Apparently this telescope has been designed by those committed to one theory to show them how dark matter/energy has shaped the universe, just as the Hubble telescope was designed to prove the Big Bang, and the James Webb Telescope to do both. To those more interested in alternate theories like the Electric Universe (Plazma Universe) Theory, it has been designed to find out what clothes the emperor is wearing. Let's call them Birkeland Currents. Which they are going to find but won’t know what they are looking at. So more surprises and complete mysteries are expected to make the headlines. “You view the Universe through the face you bring to it” Anon.

I find all of this fascinating but I do not undersrstand why Euclid's travels to L2 were not documented the same way as JWST's ?

People who don't think there's more life out there how naive can you get look at how many galaxys and planets there are out there and to think we are alone that would be the bigger discovery

To me, the clusters look foamy around the edges. There are similar sized evenly spaced circles of black areas with no stars or one near the center. For a 3D mess, these would be tubes, and that's weird. In the other images, they are obviously trying to subtract out those bluish optical artifacts in many areas. I wish they would just leave them. In one, there is a gray blank in that spot like they messed it up and went with a total deletion.

why do you spell color wrong

Color? Any color is added afterwards. Look at the raw photos: they are all colorless.

Some of your numbers are unbelievable. Two million LIGHTYEARS??? That’s the distance that light will travel in one year times TWO MILLION. I don’t even believe it!!! That’s 186,000 miles per second, times 60, times 60, times 24, times 365, times two million! Unbelievable!!!

That looks like a Cora head not horse!!! From my point of view

Build a space telescope and take a picture of the horse head? That is a waste of telescope time on one of the brightest and largest nebula there is. This is literally beginners astrophotography.

you tell us how far away things are but those number are so very very huge they are meaningless to my poor tiny brain.. i sorry

What you need is a bit of perspective. The speed of light in a vacuum is approximately three hundred thousand kilometres per second (or one hundred and eighty-six thousand miles per second). If you were to travel at this speed around the earth's equator at sea level, you would would do so SEVEN TIMES IN ONE SECOND. Just use your imagination to try to get a "feel" for THAT level of acceleration. Now, if you travel at that speed through space for one earth year, you will travel nearly ten trillion kilometres (or nearly six trillion miles). This one light year. The nearest star to our solar system is roughly 4.5 light years away, and the milkyway galaxy is around one hundred thousand light years wide, and contains approximately four hundred billion stars.

@frinoffrobis You're perfectly welcome. It's very much my pleasure. Just to flip the milkyway size around to make it all the more mind blowing; it's so vast (relatively speaking, of course) that travelling continuously at three hundred thousand kilometres a second, it would STILL take one hundred thousand years to cross it's diameter. Compared to the large-scale structure of the universe, this is infinitesimally minuscule. You exist in the VERY SAME reality as these unfathomably vast distances and speeds. Take a moment or two to let that REALLY sink in. Have a wonderful day. 🙂
