Euclid Telescope Spots Its First Brand-New Comet

In a surprising achievement for a telescope designed to peer into the universe’s deepest reaches, the European Space Agency’s (ESA) Euclid spacecraft has discovered its very first previously unknown comet.

This celestial interloper, now designated C/2026 S1 (Euclid), was spotted in images captured between September 16 and 24, 2026, demonstrating Euclid’s unexpected prowess in tracking fast-moving objects within our own Solar System.
