The European Space Agency's Euclid telescope has released its first color images, showcasing galaxies, clusters of stars, and stellar nurseries. The telescope is part of a mission to probe the nature of dark energy and dark matter, and one of the images is of the Perseus galaxy cluster, containing thousands of galaxies embedded in a vast cloud of hot gas. The mission is expected to provide new insights into the nature of dark energy and dark matter, and will be launched in 2022.

The FBI has successfully disrupted a 20-year-old malicious software network used by the Russian government to spy on hundreds of computers across 50 countries. The agency used a digital tool called "Perseus" to turn the malware's functionality against itself and force the program to self-destruct on infected computers. Senior law enforcement officials said the FBI's court-authorized neutralization of the Kremlin-backed hackers in the U.S. succeeded, disabling the malware on an undisclosed number of American computers.
