The Euclid telescope has recently captured its first images, focusing on galaxy shapes and redshift rather than just visually appealing nebulae. A notable image features the globular cluster NGC 6397, which is significant as Euclid is the only telescope capable of observing an entire cluster while distinguishing numerous stars simultaneously. These observations are crucial for understanding the Milky Way's history and the distribution of dark matter. The discussion highlights the importance of the telescope's scientific mission over aesthetic visuals. Overall, Euclid's capabilities promise to enhance our knowledge of the universe significantly.
