As part of an #Erasmus program, students from schools in @GOchsenhausen (🇩🇪), Maastricht (🇳🇱), Hlucin (🇨🇿), @MoncalieriTO (🇮🇹) and Montarnaud (🇫🇷) visited #MPE last week. They learned a lot about the search for #exoplanets and built their own #spectrograph with 3D-printed parts.

🆕 Are you ready to see the Universe like you've never seen it before? Today, our Euclid mission reveals the first piece of its great map of the Universe, showing millions of stars and galaxies. This first chunk of the map, which is a huge mosaic of 208 gigapixels, contains 260 observations made in just two weeks! This mosaic accounts for just 1% of the wide survey that Euclid will capture over six years.

Are you ready for the first 1% of #ESAEuclid's map? This huge mosaic of 208 gigapixels contains observations taken in just two weeks of around 100 million sources: stars in the Milky Way & galaxies beyond. Access it here 👉esa.int/Science_Exploration/… and let's zoom in 🧵👇
