Euclid: Mapping the Geometry of the Dark Universe - Livestream
Euclid is a new European Space Agency space telescope with NASA contributions designed to provide new insights into the nature of dark matter and why the universe is expanding at an accelerating rate. The term “dark energy” has been given to refer to the unknown cause of this accelerated expansion. Over the course of six years, Euclid will build a sky map covering over one-third of the sky out to distances over 10 billion light-years. This map will be used to probe the large-scale structure of the universe, measure the properties of dark matter and dark energy, and test Einstein’s theory of gravity. Along the way, we will be gathering detailed information on over a billion distant galaxies, as well as providing new views of astronomical objects much closer to home. The talk will describe the Euclid mission, its goals, and some of the early scientific results.
Speaker: Michael Seiffert, NASA Jet Propulsion Lab
