In this 20 minutes-documentary, produced by the Institute of Astrophysics and Space Sciences (IA), IA researchers explain the science and future of the Euclid space mission, in which Portugal participates for more than a decade.

The enigmas of the invisible matter and the accelerated expansion of the Universe are the main goals of the Euclid space mission, in which Portugal is involved since 2012. But the large and high quality images gathered by this telescope starting from 2023 and for six years will provide material for decades of study on the evolution of galaxies and the structure of the Universe.

In Portuguese, subtitles available in English.
