This week’s image was captured by the European Space Agency’s (ESA) Euclid space telescope. Launched last summer to create a 3D map of the universe, it has been pretty busy sending back some impressive images. This particular image shows the Dorado group of galaxies, one of the richest group of galaxies in the southern hemisphere. The grouping of approximately 70 galaxies is about 62 million light-years away.
