In a groundbreaking endeavor to unravel the enigmatic depths of the dark universe, a European space telescope embarked on its mission after a successful launch on Saturday. SpaceX, in collaboration with the European Space Agency (ESA), propelled the Euclid observatory towards its ultimate destination, situated approximately 1 million miles (1.5 million kilometers) away in the vicinity of the Webb Space Telescope. The journey to reach this distant location is expected to span one month, with an additional two months allocated for necessary preparations before the ambitious six-year survey commences in the upcoming autumn season.
Exultant flight controllers stationed in Germany celebrated a significant milestone when, nearly an hour into the flight, the telescope established contact and transmitted a reassuring message, signaling a smooth liftoff. Their exuberant response, filled with applause and resounding affirmations of "Yes!", reflected the triumph of this momentous launch.
