ESA’s EUCLID to Explore Dark Energy While NASA’a WFIRST Is in Doubt

Abstract

Just as the Nobel Prize in physics is awarded for the discovery that points to dark energy, Europe’s space agency has announced that it will go ahead with its mission to map out the effects of dark energy on the distribution of galaxies over time. The news comes shortly after doubt was cast on the future of WFIRST a similar mission planned by NASA. The problem faced by the American Space Agency is that JWST, its ambitious next generation space-telescope, is over budget and absorbing funding from other projects.
