Atomic scale coating advances improve UV space telescope performance
Wednesday, 19 March 2025 12:19
Observing ultraviolet (UV) light in space opens a window to some of the universe's most energetic phenomena. Yet, the efficient capture of UV photons remains a challenge due to their limited interaction with conventional instrument materials. To address this, scientists are developing thin film coatings engineered at the atomic level to enhance UV light detection capabilities.

Wednesday, 19 March 2025 10:00
On 19 March 2025, the European Space Agency’s Euclid mission released its first batch of survey data, including a preview of its deep fields. Here, hundreds of thousands of galaxies in different shapes and sizes take centre stage and show a glimpse of their large-scale organisation in the cosmic web.
Euclid is back – 26 million galaxies and counting

The European Space Agency’s Euclid mission has scouted out the three areas in the sky where it will eventually provide the deepest observations of its mission.
In just one week of observations, with one scan of each region so far, Euclid already spotted 26 million galaxies. The farthest of those are up to 10.5 billion light-years away.
In the coming years, Euclid will pass over these three regions tens of times, capturing many more faraway galaxies, making these fields truly ‘deep’ by the end of the nominal mission in 2030.
