ESA's Euclid space telescope - telemetry software

Telemetry software of ESA's Euclid space telescope. I thought this was beautiful and very cool, you don't get to see these very often. I captured the image from today's presentation by the European Space Agency (ESA) release of the first images from the Euclid space telescope.

The forum software has shrunk the image, but you can view the non-resized original image here: https://imageupload.io/ib/xKNK7ruCPWINA ... 429041.png

Everything is green because everything is nominal :P (i'm guessing Blue = "no data, but nothing of concern"). But no orange or red!

Here's one of their first images they took ..... clearly an anomaly!!!

But a team of software engineers managed to figure out a solution, problem solved, and now they have just beautiful pristine images similar to James Webb :)
(both Euclid and James Webb can do things that the other cannot, so they complement each other beautifully)

Here's one of it's first images revealed today - the Horsehead Nebula. (I think they should've called it the Seahorse Nebula). The science can now commence :)

btw, each image it takes is over 600 million pixels. I just threw my phone in the toilet

That's quite a lot of pixels.

yep that would be something like 24494 x 24494
