Euclid is a telescope of the European Space Agency (ESA) that aims to reveal the properties and nature of dark matter and dark energy, 95% of the content of the Universe. For the first time, Euclid will survey several billion galaxies. This unprecedentedly accurate mapping will help us to understand how the Universe has been structured, from the Big Bang to the present day.
On the occasion of the launch at the beginning of July, the Belgian scientists involved in the Euclid mission, including Christophe Ringeval from the IRMP, presented their contributions and research projects at a press conference on Monday 26 June at 10 a.m. at the Brussels Planetarium.
