The first image of a 3D map of the universe has been released by the European Space Agency's Euclid space telescope.

It represents a 132-square-degree sweep of the southern sky that is more than 500 times the area of the full moon.

Upon completion, it will enable scientists to probe the mysteries of dark matter and dark energy.
