Pioneering European satellite burns up over Pacific

A pioneering European satellite has burnt up upon entering Earth’s atmosphere over the Pacific Ocean. The satellite, known as Euclid, had been in orbit since its launch in 2022 and had been studying dark matter and dark energy in the universe.

The European Space Agency confirmed the re-entry of Euclid and stated that the controlled deorbiting of the satellite was successful. Euclid’s mission had provided valuable data and insights into some of the most mysterious components of the universe.

Although Euclid’s demise was planned, it marks the end of an era for the satellite and its groundbreaking research. Scientists and space enthusiasts around the world mourn the loss of this remarkable piece of technology and the knowledge it contributed to our understanding of the cosmos.
