The "Cosmic Horseshoe" is an Einstein ring, a system made up of a foreground galaxy whose mass is so great, it warps the light from a galaxy behind it. Now, astronomers know where it gets this mass ...

Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), astronomers have observed enigmatic rings in the planetary nebula NGC 1514, visible in the mid-infrared band. Results of the new observations ...

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.

Astronomers have identified the closest ever Einstein ring, a rare phenomenon where light from a further-off galaxy is bent by the gravity of a galaxy closer to Earth. The ring was previously ...

The initial photos of this Einstein ring were shared by community members who uncovered the data for the observations in James Webb’s scientific collection back in 2022. Those photos were ...

Scientists have found a rare Einstein ring in “our cosmic backyard” using images from the Euclid space telescope. The discovery, published in the journal Astronomy And Astrophysics ...
