Summary
The Euclid space telescope has captured an extraordinarily detailed image of the Milky Way's center, revealing over 60 million stars. The European Space Agency (ESA) spacecraft's new observations will help astronomers confirm exoplanets and measure their masses by tracking changes in starlight as planets orbit their parent stars. The image was released after 26 hours of deep-space observations.
