In a pioneering step towards maintaining the integrity of its mission, Euclid teams across Europe have embarked on a critical operation to remove thin layers of water ice affecting the spacecraft's optics. This ice, measuring just a few nanometers in thickness, has started to slightly diminish Euclid's ability to capture the universe's dark mysteries with its unparalleled precision. The success
