Announcing the launch of a new European Space Telescope, it will soon investigate one of the greatest mysteries of the universe, the nature of dark energy. astronomy specialized portal.
According to the plans, on July 1, at 17:12 Hungarian time, the Euclid Space Telescope will be launched from the Cape Canaveral Space Center in Florida, with which I want to survey an unimaginable number of galaxies, a billion in all, we hope to solve this one of the greatest mysteries Cosmology.
“From Florida, with a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, a telescope will be launched, which, like the James Webb Space Telescope, will go to the Lagrange point in L2,” he said in the Friday morning flash broadcast. Laszlo kiss. The Director General of the Research Center for Astronomy and Earth Sciences of the Eötvös Loránd Research Network said that the launch will be followed directly in the building of the Svábhegy Observatory, and experts will also speak, who is lecturing at on their YouTube channel Hungarian viewers can join in.
He noted that CSFK researchers András Kovács and István Szapudi (University of Hawaii) have been involved in the project for many years, and this summer, as part of the Visiting Research Program of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, they also analyzed Euclid’s first data. To illustrate current simulation methods.
Euclid investigates the nature of dark matter and dark energy, and is able to produce exceptionally high-resolution, deep images of the distribution of galaxies in the distant universe, from which he can reconstruct the largest two-dimensional map of dark matter.
You can watch the launch and performance in the embedded video:
It may sound shocking, but according to the current state of science, it’s only 4.9 percent of the universe. And in 1970, during an observation made by Vera Rubin, she realized that invisible, meteorological matter must also exist in the Universe. Dark matter makes up 26.8% of the universe. The remaining 68.3% is dark matter.
Euclid’s task is to create two-dimensional models of the relative position of galaxies in the universe. They provide information about the location of dark matter.
