Euclid space telescope captures 'extremely rare' double gravitational lenses

The European Space Agency's Euclid telescope has released its first major batch of "dark universe" data, capturing 26 million galaxies in a week of deep field images. The data includes rare gravitational lensing phenomena, which could help scientists understand dark energy and the universe's expansion. Euclid uses AI and citizen scientists to analyze its vast dataset, aiming to create the largest 3D map of the sky and study dark matter and energy. By mission's end, Euclid is expected to capture over 1.5 billion galaxies.
