Euclid is adding to a very rich landscape. We're in the coming years, we are going to be inundated with data and Euclid will be part of that. You can read Hannah Devlin's article on the first evidence of ultra low frequency gravitational waves from supermassive black holes which have never been seen before.

Ian Sample speaks to the cosmologist Dr Andrew Pontzen about the European Space Agency’s Euclid mission, which hopes to uncover more about two of the universe’s most baffling components: dark energy and dark matter. Pontzen explains what the probe will be looking for and how its findings will contribute to our understanding of the structure and evolution of the cosmos.
