The European Space Agency's (ESA) Euclid telescope captured an Einstein ring—a luminous circle formed by the gravitational bending of light around the galaxy NGC 6505. Researcher Bruno Altieri ...

Photos of the Einstein Ring show a bright ball of light in the center with a bright, cloudy ring around it. The ring is surrounding NGC 6505, a galaxy that astronomers say is nearby though it is ...

The background galaxy whose light forms the ring sits much deeper in space, about 4.42 billion light-years away. Its light has traveled across the cosmos only to be caught and bent by NGC 6505’s ...

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 ...

Euclid’s new Einstein ring. The Einstein ring that Euclid spotted is located in the galaxy NGC 6505.It is only a hop, skip, and a jump away from Earth at 590 million light-years away.

NGC 6505 is a well-known galaxy only around 590 million light-years from Earth, and Euclid’s discovery of a spectacular Einstein ring here was unexpected. Advanced Search Home ...

The European Space Agency's (ESA) Euclid telescope captured an Einstein ring—a luminous circle formed by the gravitational bending of light around the galaxy NGC 6505.

An Einstein Ring was discovered by the European Space Agency's Euclid space telescope in September 2023.
