We are releasing seven new scientific publications today, based on our Q1 data release earlier this year. All revolve around various aspects of galaxy evolution. They are accompanied by two new image collages:

The first one is a #Euclid-based re-creation of the classical 'morphology tuning fork' of galaxy shapes – the second a near-infrared view into the 'dark cloud' LDN 1641, released by #ESA.

Press Release: New science results and images from Euclid Quick Data Release 1

Morphologica Tuning Fork diagram of galaxy structures made from Euclid data. 42 different galaxies span the range from ellipticals to unbarred and barred spirals as well as irregular galaxies. In addition edge-on spirals, dwarf galaxies, and interacting galaxies are shown.

We also created an interactive version with zooms into each galaxy on our blog:

The second image is released today by #ESA and the EC, a near-infrared view by #Euclid's NISP instrument of the 'Dark Cloud' LDN 1641:

If you are thinking: this Dark Cloud image looks quite nice as a thumbnail. In full resolution it has 11,000 x 12,500 pixels! #Euclid's strength is simultaneous fine sampling and observation of large patches of the sky.

Here's a cutout, this is about 1% of the full image. Young stars, dust and gas being blown out, a lot is going on. The #ESA page has in-depth explanations.

A colourful image of the sky, showing a dust region, about 15 stars with six for Euclid characteristic spikes, and a lot of disturbance and turbulence in orange-greyish dust and gas.
