The ring of light, known as an Einstein Ring, was discovered in September 2023 by Euclid, a space telescope on a six-year mission to map out the cosmos by observing billions of galaxies.

This NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image offers us the chance to see a distant galaxy now some 19.5 billion light-years ...

But the gravitational lensing here displays a special type of phenomenon, known as an Einstein ring. Gravitational lensing happens when a celestial object has such a massive gravitational pull ...

One of the fuzzy images seemed to depict a special phenomenon known as an Einstein ring. "I look at the data from Euclid as it comes in," said Bruno Altieri, a Euclid archive scientist.

A jaw-dropping new space image shows one galaxy hiding behind another. The rare cosmic phenomenon, called an Einstein ring, occurs when massive objects can bend light due to their gravitational ...

It's two galaxies, many billions of light-years apart, combined into one by a rare cosmic phenomenon called an Einstein ring. It's an optical illusion. Published recently as the James Webb Space ...

Astronomers using the powerful James Webb Space Telescope to survey distant galaxies spotted an unusual, chance phenomenon called an "Einstein ring." It's not an actual object, but a warped ...
