ESA's Euclid mission has scanned the skies for months, building a map of the Universe's large-scale structures. Today, the agency released five images that showcase its Early Release Observations, which targeted 17 astronomical objects, from nearby nebulae to more distant galaxies. Because Euclid is in space, its images are four times sharper than ground-based observations. Its early catalog contains 11 million objects in visible light and 5 million in infrared.
