1688228069 Successful launch of Euclid the European space telescope that will

Successful launch of “Euclid”, the European space telescope that will open a window on the dark universe

Successful launch of Euclid the European space telescope that will

Euclid, the European Space Agency’s (ESA) new telescope, is already flying toward its destination in space, from where it will help us understand the expansion of the Universe. This marks the beginning of the decisive phase of a project that has been in preparation for 10 years and has an investment of more than 1,400 million euros. The launch by the American company SpaceX took place this afternoon at 5:12 p.m. (Peninsula time) from Cape Canaveral (Florida, USA).

Far away is French Guiana, from where the mission was originally supposed to be launched with Russian rockets when ESA and its Russian counterpart were still working hand in hand. When war broke out in Ukraine, Russia withdrew its overseas personnel and ESA hired SpaceX’s services. And billionaire Elon Musk’s company used a Falcon 9 rocket to send the more than two-ton Euclid into orbit around the so-called second Lagrange point, one and a half million kilometers from Earth. The journey, which will last a month, will transition into the operational phase, which will last six years.

Euclid will be crucial in solving one of the most important mysteries in modern astrophysics: the influence of the dark universe on matter as we know it. The latter, from which all living beings are made, as well as the earth, the sun and the rest of the planets and stars, makes up only 5% of the universe. The remaining 95% is the so-called dark universe, consisting of dark matter (25%) and dark energy (70%). Although invisible, hence the name, this universe is important to study because it affects what we can see. Dark matter causes matter to stick together around them, and dark energy causes matter in the universe to fall apart at an ever-increasing rate. That is, dark matter acts as a kind of cosmic glue and dark energy as its solvent.

More information

The antagonism between these two opposing forces has shaped the history of the universe since its inception. At first the influence of dark matter predominated and therefore the visible matter was combined into still existing formations such as galaxy clusters. But now it is the dark energy that prevails and the same clusters are moving away from each other at an accelerating rate. Euclid will attempt to unravel this mystery: how did this battle between dark matter and dark energy come about and how has it affected the expansion of the universe over the past 10 billion years?

Euclid owes its name to the Greek mathematician Euclid of Alexandria, who lived around 300 BC. and is considered the father of geometry. Because the density of matter and energy is related to the geometry of the universe, the space telescope that will study dark matter and energy was named in his honor.

The telescope will map a third of the sky, creating the most comprehensive map of the universe ever made. It will contain the position and shape of a large number of galaxies, some of which are very distant. Euclid has two high-tech instruments: one for infrared light (used to determine the distance of each galaxy) and one for visible light (which reveals their position and shape). The mission is a feat of engineering, as Guillermo Buenadicha, ESA’s Scientific Operations Coordinator, explains: “To determine the shape of galaxies with the required precision, Euclid needs to focus on the same point in space for long periods of time (more). (more than 700 seconds) with the highest precision to less than 25 milliarcseconds. It would be the equivalent of a person pointing a laser at a two euro coin a kilometer away as it floats in a pool. A control system is used for this, in which the Spanish industry has actively collaborated.”

Euclid’s instruments, when observed from space, will produce images much sharper than those obtained with terrestrial telescopes, which are obscured by the atmosphere. Even compared to other space telescopes, it has fundamental advantages: it will cover a much larger area (albeit with less detail) than James Webb, one of the most precise telescopes of the last decade. These properties make it ideal for observing as yet unknown asteroids in addition to its main task. Bruno Altieri, ESA scientist and custodian of the Euclid Archive, believes the impact of the project will be crucial: “With this data on billions of galaxies, Euclid is expected to revolutionize many areas of astronomy.”

Spanish participation

The scale of this mission has led to the participation of more than 300 institutions from 21 different countries, as well as 80 companies (nine of them from Spain), representing a human capital of 3,500 people. The participation of the Institute for Space Sciences of the CSIC in Barcelona and the European Space Astronomy Center (ESAC), ESA headquarters in Villanueva de la Cañada, Madrid, should be highlighted. In particular, the role of ESAC is crucial, as it will not only lead the mission’s scientific approach, but will also distribute all the data it collects. “Euclid will generate petabytes of data, which will be carefully stored in ESAC’s scientific archives to make them available to the entire scientific community,” says Altieri.

With the launch of the new European space telescope, humanity is approaching realities that it has previously only felt. Although invisible, dark matter and dark energy make up most of everything around us, and we need to shed light on them if we are to understand the universe in which we live. Euclid takes a step in that direction, casually reminding us of the immensity of what we have yet to discover.

The Stradivarius 1701 Deveault violin is my Stanley Cup

The Stradivarius 1701 “Deveault” violin is my Stanley Cup

Artistic director and regular conductor of the Orchester symphonique de Longueuil and Canadian solo violinist Alexandre Da Costa was born in Montreal. In his youth he lived near Park Avenue and Boul. Saint Joseph in Montreal. Along with his brother Pascal and sister Isabelle Chouinard, they were raised by their mother, who made sacrifices so that they could pursue their ambitions.

He was also part of the ballet company that accompanied the Grands Ballets Canadiens in the enchanting ballet Casse-Noisette at the Place des Arts. As he told me so well, some kids in his neighborhood liked different sports, but his passion was classical music.

You started playing the violin when you were 5 and the piano when you were 8.

I loved playing these instruments and besides I was barely 6 years old when I did mini shows.

When you were 9 you were on tour in Japan.

When I think about it, I wasn’t too old when I played Beethoven’s Solo Violin Concerto with 100 musicians. However, this tour made me realize that one day I want to choose my music and not always that of the musical director or the conductor.

You did your high school in Montreal.

I studied at the École Secondaire Pierre-Laporte in the city of Mount-Royal, which offered a 90-minute music lesson program every day. In the mornings I had to get up early to practice at home and in the evenings after school I continued studying.

Did you have a piano at home?

We were a modest family and money didn’t flow. Mom had an upright piano until finally, thanks to the complicity and generosity of the manufacturer of Baldwin upright pianos, we had a Baldwin grand piano at home.

You can never thank your mother enough.

My mother Véronique often ate white rice because she gave up steak to finance my studies. She had three jobs. I could never have made the sacrifices for my son that my mother made for me.

Her mother is an artist and painter.

Mom drew and listened to me play the piano and violin around the house. She made me discover the beauty and culture of classical music without ever forcing it on me. I will always be grateful to her.

At the age of 14 you graduated from high school.

After graduating high school at the age of 14, I completed a year at CEGEP before beginning my music studies at university. At the same age I took part in the OSM morning concerts conducted by Charles Dutoit.

They rode a scooter through the streets of Montreal.

After I finished my piano lessons with Vincent d’Indy of the University of Montreal, I rode my scooter with my violin in a case around my neck to the Montreal Conservatory of Music, then located in Old Montreal.

You master two instruments.

I earned a master’s degree in violin and a first prize in competition at the Conservatoire de musique du Québec and a bachelor’s degree specializing in piano from the University of Montreal.

The director of Le Patriote and many people think you’re a child prodigy.

The director of the Théâtre Le Patriote in Sainte-Agathe, Alexandre Gélinas, a former colleague during my piano lessons with Vincent d’Indy, with whom I still have a lot of fun, and people are generous in considering me a child prodigy. It’s a nice compliment, but the truth is, I’ve always had a passion for music.

When you were 18, music opened the doors to your world.

I am leaving Montreal and going to Spain to continue my studies as I had the opportunity to deepen my violin skills by taking lessons from the famous violinist and pedagogue Zakhar Bron at the Escuela Superior de Musica Reina Sofia in Madrid.

Was it like Olympic competitions?

Without a doubt, because we were eight students per class, coming from different countries around the world. There were at least three of us per room and we were often near a bistro when eating. We took part in concerts in Germany, China and Greece, among others.

You learned Spanish in a month.

A friend made it clear to me that living in Spain makes it imperative that I speak the country’s language.

Is the Deveault Stradivarius your Stanley Cup?

It was the President and CEO of the family company Meubles Canadel, Guy Deveault, who loaned me this prestigious violin, a Stradivarius 1701, estimated to be worth several million dollars, for a decade.

Is it the violin you chose?

It’s like Harry Potter’s wand, not everyone could use it. It is a privilege that few artists are entitled to play a Stradivarius. I am blessed that the violin chose me.

Your son, your spouse and you form a whole trio.

My wife Martine and I are proud of our son Mattenzo, who is 9 years old. He is a talented pianist who gives performances. On the other hand, my wife, who could have had a career as a violinist, is an incredible business partner, but above all an extraordinary woman who I love very much.

“My client was extremely shocked by the violence in this video […] he saw for the first time while he was in police custody,” the council assured, also referring to the images in which he fired the shot that resulted in the death of the 17-year-old young man Nahel, who refused to give the request to obey.

“He’s devastated, he doesn’t get up in the morning to kill people.” He didn’t mean to kill,” he added.

The officer was charged with first degree murder and remanded in custody on Thursday.

Me Liénard announced that he would appeal against the detention on Friday morning.
