• Euclid produced largest visible-light image of Milky Way bulge with over 60 million stars
• Image serves as time reference for microlensing exoplanet studies
• Enables mass measurements of exoplanets such as OGLE-2005-BLG-390Lb

"ESA's Euclid telescope has produced the largest and most detailed visible-light image of the Milky Way's galactic bulge, containing over 60 million stars. The image was captured on 23 March 2025 in 26 hours and will serve as a time reference for exoplanet microlensing studies, allowing mass measurements of known and future exoplanets."
