A distant galaxy, invisible for billions of years, has reappeared in a surprising form thanks to a rare cosmic illusion ...

In 1987, an enormous blue arc, thought to be hundreds of trillions of miles long, was first considered one of the largest objects ever detected in space. The arc was discovered near the galaxy cluster ...

This NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image offers us the chance to see a distant galaxy now some 19.5 billion light-years ...

This NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image features the remote galaxy HerS 020941.1+001557, which appears as a red arc that ...

They are one of the best examples we have of gravitational lensing–a phenomenon that Albert Einstein predicted in 1915. The ring and other findings are detailed in a study published February 10 ...

For me, with a lifelong interest in gravitational lensing, that was amazing." The Einstein Ring, an extremely rare phenomenon, turned out to be hiding in plain sight in a galaxy not far away.

Gravitational lensing is the best way to infer the presence ... This deflection of light by gravitational fields is also known as an Einstein ring because Albert Einstein predicted it.

An Einstein Ring is also considered a strong gravitational lensing pattern, says Xiaosheng Huang, a physics and astronomy professor at the University of San Francisco. Gravitational lensing is ...

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 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 ...
