A European dark matter telescope called Euclid has released its first treasure trove of data, showing galaxies by the thousand.

The Euclid space telescope, on a mission to chart the elusive dark universe, has captured its first images, revealing countless galaxies and a nearby nebula.

The first five color images captured by the European Space Agency’s Euclid telescope were revealed Tuesday, capturing previously unseen cosmic details.

The European Space Agency’s Euclid space telescope launched Saturday on a six-year journey to investigate the mysteries of the “dark side” of the universe.
