Building Canada's Capacity for Wide Field Space Astronomy with Euclid — The recently launched Euclid Space Telescope will observe billions of galaxies across 10 billion years of Cosmic history to build a 3-dimensional map of a third of the sky. This will allow us to trace the formation and growth of the earliest supermassive black holes and their impact on the lives of galaxies. This project will enable Canada to utilize Euclid's extraordinary dataset to search for the origin of supermassive black holes and reveal the evolution of galaxies and their stars, while building the necessary expertise for Canada to lead its own wide field missions in the next decade.
