This image shows an area of Euclid’s Deep Field South. The area is zoomed in 16 times compared to the large mosaic. Many galaxies are visible in this field, all with different shapes and colours because they have different ages and distances. [Image description: A sea of stars and galaxies sparkle against a black background. Several galaxies can be identified by their elongated shape and/or spiral arms. Some galaxies are seen edge-on while one prominent spiral galaxy at the bottom centre is seen face-on. At the far right, between the middle and top of the image, are some interacting galaxies. Galaxy clusters are also seen, in particular near bottom centre, where features smeared into arcs represent gravitational lensing. The brightest stars in the image have diffraction spikes.]
