"In this first data release on the deep fields, we have some fantastic images where we discover more than 26 million galaxies with fantastic spatial resolution. This is what we are showcasing to the public. It shows the potential that Euclid will have when it will continue to observe up to once third of the extragalactic sky."

6. Enlarged zoom view showing Euclid Deep Field North
7. Enlarged zoom view showing Euclid Deep Field South

9. SOUNDBITE (English) Bruno Altieri, Euclid Archives Scientist at ESA:
"In the current paradigm, we have a cosmological model that says that a large fraction of the matter in the universe is in the form of dark matter, is hidden, we don’t know what it is. And also another unknown is dark energy which (means) the expansion of the universe is accelerating. We have no clue what these two entities are. And we want to study that with Euclid. This is why we call it the Dark Universe detective. So we are going to map the universe at different distances with different probes, like gravitational lensing or baryonic acoustic oscillations. And we want to see how how these structures have evolved in time."

11. SOUNDBITE (English) Bruno Altieri, Euclid Archives Scientist at ESA:
"AI will be key for Euclid in many aspects of astronomy, for instance in galaxy morphology. This is presented in the press release today where we have used human classification to train AI to recognise the certain type of galaxies. And this is really the future, because it’s impossible to visualise all the galaxies, there will be billions of galaxies. So in many areas of astronomy, AI will be used more and more to classify and find a new object. For instance, in strong lenses, we’ve found already 500 strong lenses."

13. SOUNDBITE (English) Bruno Altieri, Euclid Archives Scientist at ESA:
"Euclid is just starting this survey. It will keep us busy for many more years and we are all very excited and the scientific community by the great potential. Although it is a cosmological mission but there will be potential for all kinds of astronomy, like galaxy evolutions, also to find very strange objects, very rare objects, or even some some stellar studies will be possible with Euclid, finding brown dwarfs. All areas of astronomy, just because of the wide field of Euclid, will be enabled by Euclid."
