The European Space Agency has released photos of a giant cradle of baby stars, hundreds of trillions of miles away. These stunning images come from the Euclid Observatory, which was launched last year from Florida to survey what's called the Dark Universe. The European Space Agency says it received images from Euclid's infrared camera, which was able to peek through the dust, revealing new regions of star formation, including one so-called nursery, Messier 78, which is 1,300 light years away. Euclid will spend the next several years observing billions of galaxies, which could help scientists better understand dark energy and dark matter, which make up most of the universe.
