ESA's Euclid telescope images the Milky Way's core ahead of NASA's Roman launch
ESA's Euclid telescope has imaged the heart of the Milky Way, targeting the same region NASA's Roman Space Telescope will observe after its launch this summer.
ESA's Euclid telescope has released a new image of the Milky Way's core. The observation deliberately covers the same region NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope will study when it launches later this summer.
Euclid's data gives scientists a baseline to prepare for Roman before it even lifts off. Both missions will study the same galactic territory from complementary angles.
Why it mattersWhen Roman launches this summer, scientists will already have Euclid's comparative data in hand, giving them a running start on discoveries about the galaxy's densest region.
