The Euclid space telescope has pierced the opaque dust of a dark cloud in Orion, revealing a nursery of newborn stars.

Thick Dust Can't Stop Euclid From Doing Its Job

The Euclid Space Telescope found some stars hiding in thick gas and dust in the Orion Molecular Cloud Complex. They're inside a so-called dark cloud named LDN 1641.

Discovering the dark universe and a stellar nursery: Euclid searches through Orion constellation

An incredible view of a stellar nursery was captured by Euclid when its infrared camera peered through the LDN 1641 dark cloud in Orion. This ability to see past obscuring dust demonstrates the telescope’s power as it embarks on its primary mission: mapping the dark Universe European Space Agency’s (ESA) Euclid space telescope has offered a new look inside the heart of a stellar nursery, peering through the obscuring dust of the LDN 1641 dark cl…

Euclid peers through a dark cloud’s dusty veil

Image: This shimmering view of interstellar gas and dust was captured by the European Space Agency’s Euclid space telescope. The nebula is part of a so-called dark cloud, named LDN 1641. It sits at about 1300 light-years from Earth, within a sprawling complex of dusty gas clouds where stars are being formed, in the constellation of Orion.In visible light this region of the sky appears mostly dark, with few stars dotting what seems to be a pri…
