The ESA’s Euclid space telescope took 26 hours to capture an image of the Milky Way’s central bulge, which is not part of its primary mission but serves as bonus science. This image will assist in the Roman Space Telescope’s gravitational microlensing search for exoplanets.

The ESA’s Euclid space telescope took 26 hours to capture this portrait of the Milky Way’s central bulge. This isn’t part of its primary mission; instead it’s kind of like bonus science. It’ll be used in the Roman Space Telescope’s gravitational microlensing search for exoplanets. Regardless of the science, it’s an impressive image.
