It will take a month to get there and another two months before it starts its ambitious six-year survey this fall. Named for antiquity's Greek mathematician, Euclid will scour billions of galaxies covering more than one-third of the sky. Euclid was supposed to launch on a Russian rocket from French Guiana in South America, Europe’s main spaceport.
