The new Euclid space telescope ran into some technical difficulties during its initial testing phase. Faulty positioning sensors caused it to drift while taking long exposure images, creating wild, loopy trails of stars against the cosmic backdrop. While not ideal for the science mission, the resulting abstract art is quite mesmerizing. After much work, engineers have patched the software to fix the issue. Euclid aims to study dark matter and dark energy over its 6-year mission by surveying a third of the night sky in unprecedented detail.
