Her excitement is always infectious. Every time I watch I smile, even if I already know what she will talk about.

Thanks for that Arry. The Euclid is going to be a very interesting mission.

Dr Becky is a great explainer. She also hosts the RAS Podcasts.

I'm a big fan of podcasts for when I'm driving.

Related to this, the question if the cosmological principle is valid. Feynman once compared it to parachuting down to Earth in a random place, landing in a patch of birch trees and concluding that the entire Earth is covered with birch trees. Yet this principle underlies all cosmological models, the expansion of the universe, distance measurements, missing matter, etcetera. Euclid is mentioned in the last paragraph as a means to help resolve this.
