And no, we can't send goodies to every follower, as much as we wanted to. However, over the next years will provide science-grade data for 15,000 square degrees of the sky to scientists and the public. To everyone, for everyone!

That's 1,000,000 (one million!) times the area of our First Light images 😳, and a total of about 30,000,000,000,000 (3x10^13) science pixels worth of night sky! 😯

has successfully completed its . A collaborative effort of , the @ec_euclid, and industry partners established communication 📡, turned on and checked both instruments, focussed the 🔭, and tested spacecraft pointing 🛰️.

This is now complete, and the teams have moved on to "performance verification", observing science-like sequences and calibration images.

How does connect theoretical predictions and cosmological survey observations? Through the largest in existence!

and the @ec_euclid Cosmological Simulations Working Group have released an exciting video about the Euclid Flagship simulation, titled “The Universe in a box: preparing for Euclid’s survey”.

Another feature that you can see in 's first images: What are these? Satellite streaks 🛰️? Asteroids ☄️? Superwoman (or Superman) 🦸🏽 ?

No, much smaller: these are traces by ⚡, hitting 's and detectors directly, depositing energy and electric charges in their pixels.
