And joining us to talk more about this is ubc physics and astronomy profesdouglas scott. Thanks for joining us. >> Speaker: thank you. >> Jennifer: it's fantastic these are amazing photos this is one of them right here is in it? I guess why do we need these? >> Speaker: we are very excited by these images people have heard a lot about spa telescopes. So james webb space telescope those were taken took really small pictures of the sky. So the big thing about euclid his pictures that are huge. So very highesolution, but very large pictures. >> Jennifer: and so what are they come over and take a look at some of them here. What do they tel about space I guess? >> Speaker: there is lots of things, these pictures is a starforming region. Euclid it manages to peer things that are so faint that are probably not even stars, they are planning a tor masses objects maybe down toimes of the mass of jupiter. And one of the things that euclid finds is free forming planets these clouds. And nobody really understands people think planets form around stars but they are planets that aren't around stars. Jennifer: there in masses or like fog? >> Speaker: there's a whole bunch ofhe tiny little as faint as things are not the most impressive things in t photo. But they are these tiny little planets. Euclid doesn't tell ushy they are there and how they got there and so on, but we can follow those ups. Euclid finds them and then we can follow it up with other telescopes. >> Jennifer: is it just finding anythi >> Speaker: euclid just takes a picture and these pictures likea cell phone camera but these have a million pixels so if you download the full image, which everybody can because these images are public.you can zoom in and zoom in, andyou've never zoomed in tha before. On her cell phone, there is a detail in these pictures, and they tell us all kinds of things about the universe. >> Jennifer: I was going to ask you what type of details or data are you learning. >> Ser: the main reason is to study the mysterious dark matter and dark energy but to study the dark universe we have to lat the bright universe, so the long goals of them when we look at a large fraction of the sky, we will start to write papers starting to find out if we learn more about dark matter and dark energy. But in the meantime, we've takenextraordinary pictures of the sky. When euclid mission is finished wi have one third of the sky, most of the parts of the s without stuff in the way in the front. And, this data will be public they can do whatever they want with them though with the mostextraordinary images of the sky you've ever seen because they are big. >> Jennifer: how far deep int space does it go? >> Speaker: all the way. I think one of the images on the screen currently euclid takes ures in 4 different colour filter so you can try and pull out different objects, so this image here has some objects and that we think are within the first 10 percent of the age of the universe or something. And again euclid doesn't tell us a whole bun about the object but we can follow them up with other telescopes. >> Jennifer: have you learned in secrets just? Are more confused or more tions I will should say.

>> Speaker: as a whole bunch of stuff euclid is pretty good and the images are very sharp. So it blurs images, soay above the earth's atmosphere so we can see things that are.like an things that I will are fuzzy and things that would disappear, and a picture n from the earth. >> Jennifer: what is the next step now? I guess analysing. >> Speaker: the next step taking a bunch of picture every day, but 20 or so of these every single dand it just keeps taking data. A lot of data. >> Jennifer: how exciting is it for people starting out like yourself. >> Speaker: I think igreat because a mission like I said is for the dark universe but werefinding out about the bright universe and I t these first results are actually a lot moreexciting than some people might have thought because they are thinking, dark universe. Science and free-floating planets and high shift objects and fuzzy dwarf galaxies tha did not even know where they're still there is a whole bunch of new stuff. And it's cool that canadians are involved. This is a team of 2000 people. Mostly eeans but all over the world about 20 canadians spread across canada and different universities. And we are very proud to be a part of this huge international min. >> Jennifer: fantastic if people would like to see them where should they go for that? >> Speaker: I think if you just google euclid is all over the internet. >> Jennifer: whilenk you for coming into our galaxy at the station, we appreciate it douglas scott.
