Dark universe satellite Euclid set to launch
The professor, who is the director of the Institute of Cosmology and Gravitation at the University of Portsmouth, says only images of very small sections of the sky have been available so far.
Euclid will instead take high-resolution images that will cover more than one-third of the extragalactic sky outside the Milky Way. It will also perform near-infrared spectroscopy of hundreds of millions of galaxies and stars over the same sky.According to the ESA, which is funding the project, the quality of the images will be "at least four times sharper than that achieved by ground-based sky surveys".These phenomena appear to control the shape and expansion of the universe but virtually nothing is known about them.
