The Einstein ring was found surrounding the galaxy NGC 6505, located a relatively close 590 million light-years from Earth.
Gravitational lensing occurs when the gravity of a massive object, like a galaxy, warps the fabric of spacetime, bending the light from a more distant background object.
It is a cosmic phenomenon that elegantly showcases the warping of space-time, a consequence of gravity predicted over a ...
The structure is nearly 600 million light-years from Earth and is an early display of the nascent dark matter telescope's ...
A Euclid space telescope has spotted a rare halo of bright light known as an "Einstein Ring" in a galaxy not so far, far away ...
Einstein rings help scientists study dark matter and cosmic expansion. Euclid will find thousands more lenses to map the ...
"They're so rare, and they're incredibly useful scientifically," said Conor O'Riordan of the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics.
