The Euclid space telescope has captured an Einstein ring, a rare and spectacular phenomenon, around the galaxy NGC 6505. This unprecedented observation opens new perspectives for studying dark ...
Einstein rings occur when light from a distant galaxy bends to form a glowing ring around another object in the foreground as that object is being observed. The rarely observed rings are named for ...
“Even from that first observation, I could see it, but after Euclid made more observations of the area, we could see a perfect Einstein ring. For me, with a lifelong interest in gravitational ...

In 2007, astronomers discovered the Cosmic Horseshoe, a gravitationally lensed system of galaxies about 5.5 billion light-years away. The foreground galaxy's mass magnifies and distorts the image of a ...

Euclid telescope spots rare 'Einstein ring' hiding near Earth — and an ancient, unnamed galaxy behind itThe Euclid space telescope has captured a stunning and rare "Einstein ring" magnifying light from the depths of the universe. The image shows a faint halo surrounding the nearby galaxy NGC 6505 ...
Albert Einstein predicted in 1912 that massive objects should bend light as it passes through their gravitational field. He published his theory of general relativity four years later, and the ...
When the test images were sent back to Earth, Euclid Archive Scientist Bruno Altieri spied what appeared to be an Einstein ring. Einstein rings occur when light from a distant galaxy bends to form ...
