Euclid: New telescope hopes to study universe's dark matter

A six-year mission to try and answer one of the biggest questions in science - what is the universe made of? - launched on Saturday.

The Euclid telescope will spend six years in space, creating a 3D map of galaxies formed around 10 billion years ago. Scientists behind the mission hope to study dark matter.

BBC Science editor Rebecca Morelle tells us more.
