A new, unprecedented view of the Milky Way's crowded cosmic centre
In short: The Euclid telescope produced an unprecedentedly clear visible-light view of the Milky Way's cosmic bulge on 23rd March 2025. This video explores the incredible density of this stellar region and the potential for discovering new worlds.
The image reveals the intense complexity of the Milky Way's cosmic bulge, a region containing approximately 60 million stars. Beyond the sheer number of stars, the footage considers the implications of this high-resolution view for planetary science, as the presence of so many stars suggests the existence of millions of planets within this dense area.
