How Euclid team overcame this problem 🔧 #shorts
Euclid, our dark Universe detective was struggling to see the faint light from distant galaxies thanks to a tiny villain: ice! Building up on its mirrors, it was blocking the crucial light Euclid needs to unlock some of the Universe’s biggest mysteries – dark matter and dark energy.
But fear not! Across Europe, a team of brilliant scientists and engineers joined forces. Months of research led to a delicate de-icing procedure, and with a touch of targeted warmth, they were able to restore Euclid’s sight.
This icy situation turned into a shining example of international collaboration and innovative thinking. And who knows what cosmic secrets Euclid will uncover now that its vision is restored.

It’s wild that they managed to do all this remotely. Like if something goes wrong, no one’s going up there to fix it
Most excellent. Congratulations to all the teams!
Awesome 👌
Purposeful team
Congratulations to all who work (or worked) on Euclid. Expanding humanity's gaze.
Do you didn't know?….😂😂
Where did that water vapor come from?
Great work, congratulations to the Euclid team!!!!
Not very vacuum if there is water flying around now is there
Good job ESA
Well done to the team, can't believe they solved a problem here on earth. But how did the ice crystals develop in space tho?
