Euclid telescope maps Milky Way's heart in detail
A European Space Agency telescope has captured over 60 million stars at the Milky Way's centre, making it the biggest and most detailed visible light image ever. This picture will hugely help in finding exoplanets, as the telescope is sensitive enough to separate individual stars. Researchers expect this to rocket the number of known exoplanets to over 100,000 across the galaxy.
