How the 'dark universe' telescope Euclid scans the sky

Ultimately, scientists believe this will yield the largest cosmological survey ever conducted in visible and near-infrared light. -- Euclid faces some setbacks during commissioning: https://www.space.com/euclid-guidance-light-sensor-setbacks-commissioning-dark-universe
