Pushing the boundaries of spectroscopy with the European Space Agency's Euclid space telescope. Account run by @stephenserjeant.bsky.social and the ELSA team https://elsa-euclid.github.io/
At the @ec-euclid.bsky.social meeting, Pietro Bergamini showing narrow-band spectroscopic images of gravitational arcs - like from the beautiful galaxy cluster gravitational lens in his title slide here. The curved arcs are background galaxies seen through warped spacetime 🧪🔭
Help scientists find clumps of star-forming regions in galaxies with the @galaxyzoo.org project Clump Scout II on @zooniverse.bsky.social!

Would you like to be part of citizen science astronomy? We invite you to classify gravitational lens candidates in so-far unreleased #ESAEuclid data: "Space Warps – ESA Euclid DR1".
#ESA #Euclid #astronomy #GravitationalLensing #science #CitizenScience.
3000 volunteers have already made nearly 900,000 classifications, yet 70% of the project are still to be done.
All the background and link to the Zooniverse: www.zooniverse.org/projects/apr...

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.

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 👏

News from the Euclid Consortium Meeting in Barcelona:
Kudos to ELSA member Andrea Enia for winning the Euclid Star Prize (junior category)! 🧪🔭
Also congratulations to ELSA member and working group leader Ben Granett for winning the Euclid star prize for a senior scientist! Ben's 2d spectral extraction software GELSA, developed for the ELSA project, is having a huge impact within @ec-euclid.bsky.social 🧪🔭 www.euclid-ec.org/consortium/s...
Would you like to rummage data from the Euclid space telescope, and uncover cosmic nurseries where stars like our Sun are born? We're delighted to announce our new @ec-euclid.bsky.social @zooniverse.bsky.social citizen science project, Galaxy Zoo Clump Scout 2 🧪🔭 www.zooniverse.org/projects/hug...
We’re announcing the next Space Warps Citizen Science campaign with #Euclid data – now previewing images from Data Release 1. Here is how to become part of the project:
