will reach a vantage point about 1 million miles from Earth, where it will share its cosmic accommodation with the James Webb Space Telescope , whose powerful infrared eye probes the universe as it was just 100 million years after the Big Bang. , the hypothetical"anti-gravity" force that scientists have proposed to explain why the universe is expanding at an accelerated rate. ESA will operate Euclid as it maps 36% of the observable sky over six years.
Euclid is designed to investigate dark energy, whose mysterious nature is ''the biggest embarrassment we currently have in cosmology,'' Guadalupe Cañas Herrera, a cosmologist at ESA, told reporters Friday.
