Description

The European Space Agency's Euclid mission launched from Cape Canaveral aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9. Euclid will undertake observations that will lead to a better understanding of the nature of dark matter and dark energy. It will also be capable of other breakthrough science, such as the detection of cool, low-mass exoplanets. I lead the ESA Euclid Exoplanet Science Working Group for the mission.
