Mapping the Dark Universe with Euclid

After 2 decades of preparation, the European Space Agency’sEuclid space telescope was launched on July 1, 2023.  Euclid’s primarygoal is to study the dark universe and help us better understand the enigmaticdark matter and dark energy that make up the bulk of the universe. I will talkabout my personal journey in bringing Euclid to fruition, give the details ofthe Euclid telescope and instruments that make it so powerful as a dark energyprobe, and talk about the science (cosmology and other) that will be enabled byEuclid’s deep (50 square degrees) and wide (14,000 square degrees) sky surveys.
