🎄 Are your holiday decorations ready? Euclid has a cosmic garland to add: NGC 646.

The large barred spiral galaxy appears close to a smaller galaxy to the left, but they’re actually about 45 million light-years apart 👉 https://www.esa.int/ESA_Multimedia/Images/2025/12/Euclid_s_galaxy_garland

Au revoir Yannick!

Dear colleagues and friends,

It is with the greatest sadness that we announce the passing of Yannick Mellier, which occurred during the night between Friday and Saturday. His death leaves a huge void within the consortium and our community.

Euclid, our #DarkUniverse 🕵️ detective, is hard at work creating a map of the large-scale structure of the Universe across space and time.

What five mysteries is this detective trying to crack? Find out here 👉 www.esa.int/Science_Expl...

We followed up #ESAEuclid's near-infrared image of the Dark Cloud LDN 1641 with a comparison to the NIR 2MASS survey, and to a bespoke ground-based image in visible light.

Here's the comparison including a tool to experiment yourself:

Do you remember the 'Dark Cloud' image of LDN 1641 from #ESAEuclid that was released by @science.esa.int two weeks ago? We now added a comparison to a ground-based image in visible light:

Those were beautiful #aurorae in the past days. A solar storm brought a lot of protons to Earth. Not only to Earth but also to #ESAEuclid – but does #Euclid notice? Oh yes.

New #Euclid image drop from @esa.int and @ec-euclid.bsky.social! 😍

Meet LDN 1641, a ‘dark cloud’ about 1300 light-years from Earth, observed by Euclid back in 2023 to test its guiding systems. ⬛️☁️

While investigating the nature of the dark Universe, Euclid is also delivering observations such as this one that enable research in different fields of astronomy 👉 www.esa.int/ESA_Multimed... 🔭

We are releasing seven new science publications today, based on our Q1 data release earlier this year. All revolve around galaxies, from dust to interactions to active centers.These are accompanied by two new image collages drawn from the same release.
