Let's say because it's really at the very extreme of technology, whether you can achieve that. It's basically a perfect telescope [...] but this one has to be perfect because if it is not perfect, you cannot really achieve this performance"."Exploring the universe's dark side with Euclid opens a window to understanding its accelerating expansion and the role of dark matter and energy.""Being at the forefront of a mission like Euclid is a journey of discovery, not just for science but for our understanding of existence itself."List of All Links or Names Shared:Giuseppe RaccaESA's Euclid Mission (Euclid Mission Official Website)European Space Agency (ESA Official Website)L2 pointJames Webb Space Telescope (Webb Telescope Official Website)SpaceX Falcon 9 (SpaceX Official Website)Choice of Music for the Spotify Playlist for the Aspiring Space Traveler:Giuseppe Racca's choice: "White Rabbit" by Jefferson Airplane, reflecting his admiration for 70s prog rock and its metaphorical connection to the journey into the unknown cosmos.🚀 Share your thoughts on this episode with your network on Twitter and Facebook.
