ESA: Euclid
Euclid is ESA’s space telescope designed to explore the dark Universe. The mission will create the largest, most accurate 3D map of the Universe ever produced across 10 billion years of cosmic time. Euclid will explore how the Universe has expanded and how large-scale structure is distributed across space and time, revealing more about the role of gravity and the nature of dark energy and dark matter.

Exploring the Moons of the Planet Jupiter
ESA : Juice
Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer
Scheduled Launch Window April 2023
ESA’s Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer, Juice, will make detailed observations of the giant gas planet and its three large ocean-bearing moons – Ganymede, Callisto and Europa – with a suite of remote sensing, geophysical and in situ instruments. The mission will characterise these moons as both planetary objects and possible habitats, explore Jupiter’s complex environment in depth, and study the wider Jupiter system as an archetype for gas giants across the Universe.

NASA : Europa Clipper
EUROPA : Moon of Jupiter - Potential for Life
Scheduled Launch October 2024
In 2024, The Journey begins: Clipper is being crafted with one overarching goal :
To determine if Europa harbors conditions suitable for life.

The Vera C Rubin Telescope
Project Mission StatementRubin Observatory’s mission is to build a well-understood system that will produce an unprecedented astronomical data set for studies of the deep and dynamic universe, make the data widely accessible to a diverse community of scientists, and engage the public to explore the Universe with us.
Overview
The goal of the Vera C. Rubin Observatory project is to conduct the 10-year Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST). LSST will deliver a 500 petabyte set of images and data products that will address some of the most pressing questions about the structure and evolution of the universe and the objects in it.

Astronomers work out when the first stars shone
They say that this period, known as the "cosmic dawn," occurred between 250 to 350 million years after the Big Bang.
The results indicate that the first galaxies will be bright enough to be seen by Nasa's James Webb Space Telescope, which is set to be launched later this year.

NASA Voyager Space Probes
The Voyager program is an ongoing American scientific program that employs two robotic interstellar probes, Voyager 1 and Voyager 2. They were launched in 1977 to take advantage of a favourable alignment of Jupiter and Saturn, to fly near them while collecting data for transmission back to Earth.
They have now left our Solar System.
