The first images from Europe's Euclid space telescope were released on Tuesday, revealing a stunning nebula resembling a horse's head, never-before-seen distant galaxies and swirling masses of stars in pristine detail.
The five images from Euclid, which was launched in July on a mission to investigate dark matter and dark energy, were "awe-inspiring and remind us of why it is essential that we go to space to learn more about the mysteries of the universe," European Space Agency chief Josef Aschbacher said in a statement.
