Background image of simulation of present-day matter from FLAMINGO simulation, with three insets showing detail.
The background image shows the present-day distribution of matter in a slice through the largest FLAMINGO simulation, which is a cubic volume of 2.8 Gpc (9.1 billion light years) on a side. The luminosity of the background image gives the present-day distribution of dark matter, while the colour encodes the distribution of neutrinos. The insets show three consecutive zooms centred on the most massive cluster of galaxies; in order, these show the gas temperature, the dark matter density, and a virtual X-ray observation (from Figure 1 from Schaye et al. 2023).

The structural and thermal model of the Euclid satellite.
Euclid is a medium-class mission in ESA's Cosmic Vision programme to investigate the expansion of our Universe over the past ten billion years, probing cosmic epochs from before the expansion started to accelerate, all the way to the present.
