This image is from Euclid, the new ESA space telescope launched in July. Its mission is to create a map of the large-scale structure of the universe, and explore the nature of dark matter and dark energy.
There are more than a thousand galaxies in the Perseus cluster pictured here, and more than 100,000 galaxies visible in the background.
