With further analysis, the formation of a perfect Einstein Ring became evident. As someone deeply fascinated by gravitational lensing, this was an extraordinary moment." "All strong lenses are ...

The Einstein Ring already picked up by Euclid is special not only because it’s a very strong one, but also because it resides relatively close to Earth, when talking from a cosmic perspective.

C. Cuillandre, G. Anselmi, T. Li The European Space Agency's (ESA) Euclid telescope has located a rare hoop of light called an "Einstein ring" in a nearby elliptical galaxy. Though the galaxy has ...
