European scientists uploaded data from 14 million galaxies into a three-dimensional “cosmic atlas”.

Data for 14 million galaxies has been uploaded onto a 3D map by European Space Agency (ESA) scientists. The cosmic map consists of data from the Euclid Telescope, which aims to expand knowledge about “dark matter” and “dark energy.”

European Space Agency (ESA) scientists have uploaded data for 14 million galaxies onto a 3D map, write… Daily Mail. The European Space Agency's Euclid telescope has released stunning images from a dataset that will be available from a “cosmic atlas” under development.

The massive mosaic of star system data contains 208 gigapixels of data, which is 500 times larger than the entire sky that can be seen from the Southern Hemisphere, the European Space Agency said. However, the map, which covers 14 million star systems, still represents barely 1% of the sky that can be seen with the naked eye.

The main purpose of the Euclid Telescope is for scientists to learn more about two hitherto unknown factors that, according to prevailing theories, may contribute to the expansion of the universe, namely “dark matter” and “dark energy”.
