\n Europe\u2019s new space telescope Euclid has returned its first sparkling images of deep space, in a \u201ctantalising glimpse\u201d of what is to come.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The images are not only mesmerising, but they also show that all the telescope\u2019s instruments are running smoothly. This must come as a major relief to scientists at the European Space Agency<\/a>, who have spent <\/span>\u20ac\u200e<\/span>1.4bn over the last 16 years developing the telescope.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Euclid was launched on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral in Florida on 1 July and has almost arrived at its destination \u2014 a vantage point known as the Second Lagrange Point, located about 1.5 million km from Earth. The super-telescope James Webb also occupies this spot.<\/span><\/p>\n
