This is Euclid’s Deep Field North. After only one observation, the space telescope has already spotted more than ten million galaxies in this field. It is also very rich in Milky Way stars, as it is close to the Galactic plane. In the coming years, Euclid will make 32 observations of this field to reach its full depth.
Below the centre-left of the image lies the Cat’s Eye Nebula, around 3000 light-years away. Also known as NGC 6543, this nebula is a visual ‘fossil record’ of the dynamics and late evolution of a dying star. This dying star is shedding its outer colourful shells.
A bit higher to the right of the centre of the image, a large group of galaxies can be spotted, dominated by the large galaxy NGC 6505. This galaxy hosts the first Einstein Ring that Euclid discovered, and is located 590 million light-years away.
The faint blue structures in the image are dim clouds in between the stars in our own galaxy. They are a mix of gas and dust, also called ‘galactic cirrus’ because they look like cirrus clouds. Euclid is able to see these clouds with its very sensitive visible light camera because they reflect optical light from the Milky Way.
Euclid’s Deep Field North has an area of 22.9 square degrees and is located very close to the north ecliptic pole, in the constellation Draco, the dragon. The proximity to the ecliptic pole ensures maximum coverage throughout the year; the exact position was chosen to obtain maximum overlap with one of the deep fields surveyed by NASA's infrared workhorse, the Spitzer Space Telescope.
[Image description: On a black background lies a rectangular shape with several stepped notches cut out of its corners, oriented with its longest edges running from bottom left to top right. Contained within the shape are more than ten million galaxies, and stars of various size, brightness and colour. Wispy faint blue cloud-like structures permeate the image, representing gas and dust in between the stars in our own galaxy.]

Cuando por la noche uno parece haberse decidido terminantemente a quedarse en casa; se ha puesto una bata; después de la cena se ha sentado a la mesa iluminada, dispuesto a hacer aquel trabajo o a jugar aquel juego luego de terminado el cual habitualmente uno se va a dormir; cuando afuera el tiempo es tan malo que lo más natural es quedarse en casa; cuando uno ya ha pasado tan largo rato sentado tranquilo a la mesa que irse provocaría el asombro de todos; cuando ya la escalera está oscura y la puerta de calle trancada; y cuando entonces uno, a pesar de todo esto, presa de una repentina desazón, se cambia la bata; aparece en seguida vestido de calle; explica que tiene que salir, y además lo hace después de despedirse rápidamente; cuando uno cree haber dado a entender mayor o menor disgusto de acuerdo con la celeridad con que ha cerrado la casa dando un portazo; cuando en la calle uno se reencuentra, dueño de miembros que responden con una especial movilidad a esta libertad ya inesperada que uno les ha conseguido; cuando mediante esta sola decisión uno siente concentrada en sí toda la capacidad determinativa; cuando uno, otorgando al hecho una mayor importancia que la habitual, se da cuenta de que tiene más fuerza para provocar y soportar el más rápido cambio que necesidad de hacerlo, y cuando uno va así corriendo por las largas calles, entonces uno, por esa noche, se ha separado completamente de su familia, que se va escurriendo hacia la insustancialidad, mientras uno, completamente denso, negro de tan preciso, golpeándose los muslos por detrás, se yergue en su verdadera estatura.
Todo esto se intensifica aún más si a estas altas horas de la noche uno se dirige a casa de un amigo para saber cómo le va.

Solar exploration has always played a key role in ESA’s space science programme and spacecraft built in Europe have a long and highly successful tradition in monitoring our star and exploring its environment.
Today, many missions study the Sun, our source of heat and energy that allows life to form and evolve on Earth. The joint ESA/NASA Ulysses mission provided us with the first-ever map of the heliosphere from the Sun’s equator to its poles. ESA’s four Cluster satellites are investigating the interaction between Earth’s magnetosphere and the solar wind.
SOHO, stationed at a special point in space on the sunward side of Earth, sends images of solar explosions and probes the hidden interior of the Sun. Especially remarkable are its observations of coronal mass ejections, in which the Sun sends huge puffs of gas out into the Solar System.
Satellites and power and communications systems on the ground are vulnerable to this ‘space weather’, and their engineers can now be alerted in good time. Double Star, a mission in cooperation with China, also studies space weather.
