In just three months, #ESACheops completed its in-orbit commissioning, exceeding expectations for its performance.

Tests showed Cheops' extraordinary precision and stability.

The spacecraft was ready to study exoplanets. 2/ 🔭 #CM25

In March, #ESAEuclid delivered its first batch of survey data, a treasure trove for research far beyond just the topic of dark matter & dark energy.

Thanks to its wide & deep view of the cosmos, Euclid will address questions from a broad range of topics 👉 www.esa.int/Science_Expl... 4/ 🔭 #CM25
A collage of nine by five squares containing galaxies of many different shapes and viewed in different orientations. For example, the first column shows five edge-on galaxies, which appear thin like a pencil. The galaxies in the second column have a more fuzzy, diffuse appearance. The middle columns showcase face-on spiral galaxies with many different shapes and densities of stars. The last two columns include interacting galaxies or galaxies with an unusual spiral arm or tidal tail.
