Rare 'Einstein Ring' spotted around a nearby galaxy for the first time
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.
Euclid telescope discovers rare Einstein ring around nearby galaxy NGC 6505
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.
Einstein Ring Found in Space Points the Way to a Galaxy We Never Knew Existed
The European Space Agency's Euclid space telescope, in operation for a few months now, uncovered light coming from a previously unknown galaxy
Space telescope finds rare 'Einstein Ring' of light in nearby galaxy
A rare ring of light surrounding a galaxy nearly 590 million light-years away from Earth has been discovered by a space telescope that scientists hope will uncover more cosmic phenomena throughout the universe, the European Space Agency announced on Monday.
