X-WR-CALDESC:Join the NASA Night Sky Network on Tuesday\, January 28\, 2025
 \, at 6:00 PM Pacific Time (9:00 PM Eastern) along with Dr. Michael Seiffe
 rt where we’ll discuss the Euclid space telescope and the search for dark 
 energy and dark matter.\n\nEuclid is a new European Space Agency space tel
 escope with NASA contributions designed to provide new insights into the n
 ature of dark matter and why the universe is expanding at an accelerating 
 rate. The term “dark energy” has been given to refer to the unknown cause 
 of this accelerated expansion. Over the course of six years\, Euclid will 
 build a sky map covering over one-third of the sky out to distances over 1
 0 billion light-years. This map will be used to probe the large-scale stru
 cture of the universe\, measure the properties of dark matter and dark ene
 rgy\, and test Einstein’s theory of gravity. Along the way\, we will be ga
 thering detailed information on over a billion distant galaxies\, as well 
 as providing new views of astronomical objects much closer to home.  The t
 alk will describe the Euclid mission\, its goals\, and some of the early s
 cientific results.\n\nAbout Michael Seiffert:\n\nDr. Michael Seiffert has 
 worked as a research scientist at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory for the la
 st 25 years and currently serves as the project scientist for the NASA con
 tribution to Euclid.  His research interests include developing new astron
 omical instruments and using them to learn about our universe.\n\n
