Euclid Telescope shows amazing details of a young star's nursery in Messier 78.

A new space telescope took amazing pictures of stars being born. The telescope is called Euclid and it belongs to the European Space Agency.

Euclid was launched last year from Florida and is now a million miles away from Earth. Its main job is to study the 'dark universe,' which is a mysterious part of space.

The telescope will look at billions of galaxies and try to figure out what dark energy and dark matter are. These things make up most of the universe, but scientists don't know much about them.

One of Euclid's new pictures shows a place called Messier 78 where lots of stars are forming. This 'stellar nursery' is very far away, about 1,300 light-years, which is a really, really long distance.

Euclid's special infrared camera can see through dust clouds to show us the new stars. These pictures are just the beginning of Euclid's mission to learn more about the universe.
