The Euclid space telescope, designed to study dark energy, accidentally detected 164 transient flashes. Astronomers measured brightness in different wavelengths to understand the nature of stellar explosions and discovered hidden galaxies.

By simulating Euclid telescope observations, scientists showed that combining two analysis methods—coarse ripple measurement and fine asymmetry detection—nearly doubles accuracy. This will help test theories of the Universe's birth and likely spot traces of quantum jitters.
