ESA's Euclid probe aims to discover the dark secrets of the universe | DW News

Shining a light on the dark side of the universe - that's the task of a new mission by the European Space Agency. Euclid aims to find out more about two of the universe's greatest mysteries: dark energy and dark matter.

The universe is mysterious.
And mystery is the universe.

[makedredd]

97% of the earth’s deep sea remains unknown.

[marklogan]

The more we find out. The less we actually know

[thoraero]

How "deep" do we know about this 5%?

[stevelam]

Big bang theory is in question right now, thanks to the Jame Webb telescope. Instead of launching Euclid, why don't you pray for God's spirit and wisdom to make you have a righteous perpetual mind to receive God's grace, gift, ideas and talents and then you can discover what God's dark matter and dark energy are made of.

very very exciting. they should have run this mission for a good 15 - 20 years though

[eelcj]

if so much is unknown, how does one figure out it is 95%?

European 🇪🇺 Space Agency is shining a light on the dark side of the universe.
- Here on earth, the biggest blackhole is still China 🇨🇳.
Euclid can never find the universe's greatest mysteries: the Covid origin.

dark matter + dark energy: Or, "we don't know." I hate how many refer to these conjectures as if they're a real thing...

[cipaisone]

The question of “why do we need to understand this and that?” Always makes my stomach sick… I mean, I would reply always like “why do you even do, whatever you do with your life?”

I mean, I think that the only honest reply to any question of the type “why do you do <whatever you do with your life>?” Is:”because I have an itch to do that ( or I need that to get the money or tools to satisfy some itch)”…..
and I think that science, the urge to know about the universe, is the only itch that separates us from animals.

Doubt that five percentage is observed

[souravsana]

Actual size then %, if you name the universe by Galaxy, star and other things like they are just one person mean 1%

[grasssnaker]

More like 100 percent, what we know is so insignificant, maybe one million parth of Universe. No one reached end of Universe so far, scientists even not sure where it is or is it at all.

[xavariusquest]

"WHERE THE UNIVERSES OR GALAXIES ARE FORMING"...the host said this. How do you interview someone when you have absolutely no clue about what is be discussed.

First, dark matter and dark energy are BARELY mathematical constructs. To say they are theoretical is an understatement. But the EU spent billions on this probe.

How about this. James Webb has no found galaxies far older than should have existed. That means either the theory of their formation state or the age of the universe are wrong. This m8ssion was predicated on b9th being correct.

Great job guys.

[ciprianpopa]

"Shining a light to the ..."?! more like picking some light.

[klausjambor]

They have covered 5% ?? That's a lot.

[universalgamers]

universe we know is not 95% but in our indu text their are many universe of different sizes, ours universe have four headed bhrahma, but some have headed brahma also, the larger the head the larger the creators universe in india we know all this from 7000 years ago

[iLLustrious]

I feel like all this energy and time could be spent somewhere useful

[jodycollier]

On the dark side of the universe pink flood has an album called light side of the sun

[Wraith-Knight]

particles and gravity is invisible this theory in smaller than that
