The universe rarely fails to amaze. One of its latest surprises—nicknamed the “Einstein zig-zag”—reveals a stunning ...

How is this possible? These two distinct aspects of JWST images are the result of the same phenomenon, called gravitational lensing. First predicted over 100 years ago by Albert Einstein ...

The gravitational lens created by the galaxy in the foreground creates four images of the active galaxy, each with a bright galactic core and two large jets of material extending from it.

This phenomenon is known as gravitational lensing, and its effects are clearly visible in the new images from Webb. The first image from James Webb, showing the galaxy cluster SMACS 0723 and the ...

it will bend light to such a degree that you might see multiple images of the same light source. That’s called strong gravitational lensing. There is also an effect called weak gravitational ...
