Euclid released a 208-gigapixel mosaic at the International Astronautical Congress in Milan . The mosaic, composed of 260 observations in visible and infrared light, captures 132 square degrees of the southern sky within just two weeks of data collection.
This image represents only 1% of Euclid’s planned six-year survey, which will map the 3D structure of the cosmos and explore the cosmic expansion.
IFAE, PIC & ICE, have been responsible for the design, construction, assembly and validation tests of the NISP instrument filter wheel, as well as the cosmological simulations of the mission.

During the week of April 15, 2025, Andreu Font delivered a talk at Harvard’s Center for Astrophysics, presenting the latest Baryon Acoustic Oscillation (BAO) results from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) collaboration. His presentation, titled “How Constant is the Cosmological Constant? Challenging the ΛCDM Model with New Measurements from the DESI Collaboration ”, explored how recent data may question key assumptions of the standard cosmological model.
The talk is available to watch online .
