The "dark universe detective" space telescope Euclid has discovered its first Einstein ring in the process, learning about ...

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.

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 ...

It is a cosmic phenomenon that elegantly showcases the warping of space-time, a consequence of gravity predicted over a ...

Set against a backdrop littered with tiny pinpricks of light glint a few, brighter stars, this is NGC 1858, a 10-million-year ...

This image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope features Arp 72, a very selective galaxy group that only includes two ...

The ring of light surrounding the centre of the galaxy NGC 6505, captured by ESA’s Euclid telescope, is a stunning example of an Einstein ring. NGC 6505 is acting as a gravitational lens, bending ...

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope recently imaged the Sombrero Galaxy with its MIRI (Mid-Infrared Instrument), resolving the ...

Albert Einstein himself thought that the eponymous Einstein ring would be impossible to observe, but the Euclid telescope has ...

A close-up view of the centre of the NGC 6505 galaxy, with the bright Einstein ring around its nucleus, captured by ESA’s Euclid space telescope.   The Einstein ring is formed by gravitational lensing ...

Why it's so special: This James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) image has helped astronomers untangle ... One such proxy is the star cluster NGC 346, a star-forming region within the Small Magellanic ...
