The view from the @SpaceX and #ESA hosted event at the #NASA Operational Support Building II as #ESAEuclid launched today. So many people made this happen, over so many years. To map the sky, and learn a bit more about the wonder-full cosmos in which we live.

The @ESA_Euclid space telescope is due to be launched on Saturday. A team at @MSSLSpaceLab led on building and designing its massive optical camera, VIS, which will image billions of galaxies to map how dark matter and dark energy have evolved over time https://t.co/KbSNeUbtyD

“It’s inspiring because it’s been people from 15 different countries and cultures working together over decades on a really, really complicated experiment” Prof @tom_kitching @MSSLSpaceLab
The #ESAEuclid mission is due to launch tomorrow (1 July). Read on: https://t.co/X8OjiPPotK

And onboard @ESA_Euclid are the fingerprints of the people who made it. There is no such thing as u extraordinary light, ordinary matter. @lisa_pettibone @EssBarraclough https://t.co/lPnL6cvJSt

Euclid is fully integrated! This is a historical moment for humanity’s view of the cosmos. The telescope is ready. We just need to launch it now.

[ESA's Euclid mission @ESA_Euclid]

Finally fully integrated at @Thales_Alenia_S !

[tom kitching @tom_kitching]

Thank you @lisa_pettibone for the art, @EssBarraclough for the words, everyone from @EC_Euclid and @ESA_Euclid for your enthusiuam (and fingerprints!), @MSSLSpaceLab for building the plaque, and @HorizonEU @weaklensing for funding this.🎨+🚀

This "Fingerprint Galaxy" plaque by @lisa_pettibone made of many fingerprints of Euclid Consortium @EC_Euclid members will be be installed in the next days on the @ESA_Euclid service module at @Thales_Alenia_S .
