The European Space Agency has launched the Euclid telescope into space this Saturday.

The launch was carried out by SpaceX and was made from Cape Canaveral, United States, using the “Falcon 9” rocket.

The Euclid telescope mission is scheduled to last six years and aims to observe and map the so-called dark side of the universe, the least known and the most vast, since scientists estimate that it represents around 95% of it.

The telescope is directed to a point in space located one million six hundred thousand kilometers from Earth.

The rocket has successfully returned to our planet.
