<p>Named after the Greek mathematician Euclid of Alexandria, who is considered the “father of geometry,” Euclid was given this name because “the density of matter and energy is linked to the geometry of the universe” according to the <a href="https://www.esa.int/Science_Exploration/Space_Science/Euclid_overview" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">European Space Agency</a>. ESA’s Euclid space telescope is designed to study the most mysterious aspects of our universe. Aimed to discover more about dark energy and dark matter, scientists hope Euclid will answer questions about the structure and history of our universe, the nature of dark matter and dark energy, if our understanding of gravity is accurate, and how our universe has changed as it expanded over time.</p>
