First example of dark matter structure from Euclid!
Scientists have put together pieces of evidence collected by Euclid, the #DarkUniverse detective 🕵️, to reveal the dark matter structure in the galaxy cluster Abell 2390 👉 www.euclid-ec.org/euclid-start...

And if you're into #CitizenScience, Euclid's Space Warps is another @zooniverse.bsky.social project where you can help spot galaxies bending spacetime 👉 spacewarps.org, now available also in #Japanese
So far, volunteers made over two million classifications 👏

Work with public data from our Euclid mission and help refine machine models that will scout the 250 million galaxies Euclid is expected to image that could host such clumps.

Help scientists find clumps of star-forming regions in galaxies with the @galaxyzoo.org project Clump Scout II on @zooniverse.bsky.social!

Solar eclipses remain a unique moment for millions of people to witness this rare natural phenomenon together.
This 12 August we invite you to watch the #EuropeanSolarEclipse with us and learn more about our missions 👉 esa.int/solareclipse
🔭 🧪 ☀️
For centuries, the only way to study the Sun's secrets was to wait for a #SolarEclipse.
Not anymore. Enter:
🛰️ SOHO, the tireless Sun watcher
🛰️ Solar Orbiter, the close-up Sun explorer
🛰️ Proba-3, the artificial eclipse maker
Sara García Alonso, member of ESA’s Astronaut Reserve, tells you more 🔭🧪
They were recognised for their work uncovering fossil evidence proving that the Milky Way galaxy grew by engulfing smaller neighbouring galaxies.
Data from ESA's Gaia mission played a crucial role.
Here's what else Gaia uncovered about our Milky Way 👉 www.esa.int/Science_Expl...

Correct machine predictions to reveal the shapes of stellar nurseries!
Europe has no less than three solar eclipses coming up:
12 August 2026 – total solar eclipse in Greenland, Iceland, Spain & Portugal.
2 August 2027 – total solar eclipse ...
