From its initial testing phases, the telescope spotted a nearly perfect Einstein ring, a gravitational mirage formed by the bending of light from a distant galaxy. This discovery, made in a well ...

Einstein's theory of general relativity suggests that the "memory" of ancient events, such as black hole mergers, may be etched into the fabric of space-time by gravitational waves. New research ...

The final appearance within the cosmic mirage is approximately 1000 days after the first. This phenomenon is spectacular because it allows us to see just how strong the effects of gravitational ...

It’s rewriting what we know about black hole formation. The Cosmic Horseshoe’s perfect Einstein Ring is caused by gravitational lensing, where a massive foreground galaxy bends light from a ...
