See the Milky Way’s Galactic Bulge, Captured in Unprecedented Detail
SMRTR summary
The European Space Agency's Euclid space telescope has captured the most detailed image ever taken of the Milky Way's galactic bulge, revealing over 60 million densely packed stars. The image will help astronomers hunt for exoplanets using microlensing, a technique that detects planets by measuring how their gravity affects passing starlight. Over 300 exoplanets have already been discovered this way, and Euclid's wider field of view makes it far more powerful than previous tools.
