The European Space Agency has released the first data from the Euclid space telescope.

The data includes initial scans of three regions that Euclid will observe regularly.

In these initial images, the telescope captured 26 million galaxies, the most distant of which are 10.5 billion light-years away.

The full potential of Euclid to learn more about dark matter and dark energy will be reached only when it has completed its survey.
