One of the first verified predictions of general relativity is the gravitational deflection of starlight. The effect was ...

The NASA James Webb Space Telescope captured a stunning image of an Einstein ring, an optical phenomenon created by gravitational lensing. This rare sight, caused by light from a distant galaxy ...

A stunning new image from the James Webb Space Telescope reveals a cosmic mirage known as an Einstein ring, where the light ...

This new NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope Picture of the Month features a rare cosmic phenomenon called an Einstein ring. What at first appears to be a single, strangely shaped galaxy is ...

The James Webb «Space Telescope» took a picture of a gravitational lens with a very unusual shape that creates the effect of an Einstein ring. The European Space Agency (ESA) has named this lens the ...

So much so that the cosmic phenomenon is called an "Einstein ring." Einstein rings happen when light from one distant object is bent around the mass of another, slightly closer and even larger object.

This "rare cosmic phenomenon", called an Einstein ring, appears as a single eye-like orb in the darkness of space, but is actually a distorted view of two distant galaxies in the constellation Hydrus.

There are often surprises when looking up into the night sky. This time, a rare sighting—an Einstein ring—was captured by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). The glowing, eye-like circle in ...

James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has captured a stunning photograph of an Einstein ring. The European Space Agency (ESA) and the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) shared this unusual sighting to the public ...

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 ...
