Visual Description: Mosaic of gravitational lenses from the first observations of the Euclid Deep Fields, each showing multiple images of a galaxy from the bending of light due to gravitational lensing. These range from several images marking the Einstein ring, or overlapping multiple images that completely trace out the Einstein ring.

A new Euclid citizen science project, Space Warps, has been launched on the Zooniverse platform! This project aims to mobilize citizen scientists to examine Euclid images of galaxies to find rare and elusive strong gravitational lenses. These will help constrain dark matter in galaxies, and could provide clues on dark energy.

You can join to help find strong gravitational lenses in the Euclid data! For more details, click here.
