    📣 Most ancient quasars ever found! @ESA_Euclid has discovered 31 ancient quasars. Two of them shone with the light of a trillion Suns back when the Universe was 670 million years old – just 5% of its current age. Discover more 👉 esa.int/Science_Explor…
    This collage with observations of the Euclid space telescope shows a grid of small, dark panels filled with tiny points and faint smudges of light. The lights vary in brightness and colour, including white, blue, yellow, and orange, with some appearing as dots and others as slightly blurred shapes. Each panel has a small label with letters and numbers at the bottom.

    Our space telescope Euclid has discovered 31 ancient quasars in the early Universe, including the two oldest ever observed. Their light has travelled for more than 13 billion years, taking us back to when the cosmos was just 5% of its current age. 🌌 Read more 👉

    Il telescopio spaziale @ESA_Euclid ha identificato 31 antichissimi quasar. Due di essi risalgono a quando l’Universo aveva 670 milioni di anni – appena il 5% della sua età attuale.
    Questo collage, realizzato con le osservazioni del telescopio spaziale Euclid, mostra una griglia di piccoli riquadri scuri pieni di minuscoli punti e tenui macchie di luce. Le luci variano per luminosità e colore – tra cui bianco, blu, giallo e arancione – e alcune appaiono come punti, mentre altre come forme leggermente sfocate. Ogni riquadro presenta in basso una piccola etichetta con lettere e numeri.

    I quasar sono le galassie piu' lontane a noi note, che emettono una enorme quantita' di energia dalla regione nucleare. Per saperne di più su questo nuovo studio di @ESA_Euclid esa.int/Science_Explor… @esascience

    A 3rd launch anniversary gift for you! 🎁 📹 In just 26 hours, @ESA_Euclid imaged millions of stars at the heart of our galaxy 🤩 Hidden among them are planets we cannot see. Yet, thanks to gravity and chance alignment, we can detect their presence. How? 👇
    A wide, horizontal view shows a densely packed field of tiny stars. The left side is dominated by bright yellow and gold colours, with only a few dark patches interrupting the glow. Moving towards the right, the image becomes darker and more mottled, with larger irregular black and brown areas cutting into the star-filled background. Subtle purple and reddish tones appear toward the upper right, while small blue points of light are scattered across the scene. A text in the foreground reads 'What's hiding here?'.
