Euclid's sight has been restored

Summary by Ground News

Small amounts of water ice building up on Euclid's optics. Mission teams spent months devising a procedure to heat up individual mirrors in the instrument's complex optical system. After the very first mirror was warmed by just 34 degrees, the telescope's sight was restored. Euclid is on a mission to uncover the secrets of dark matter and dark energy.

Euclid's sight has been restored

A newly devised procedure to de-ice Euclid's optics has performed significantly better than hoped. Light coming in to the visible "VIS" instrument from distant stars was gradually decreasing due small amounts of water ice building up on its optics. Mission teams spent months devising a procedure to heat up individual mirrors in the instrument's complex optical system, without interfering with the finely tuned mission's calibration or potentially…
