Astronomers have identified the closest ever Einstein ring, a rare phenomenon where light ... When Collett and his colleagues measured the mass of the lensed galaxy, they also found a slightly ...

The Euclid space telescope has captured an Einstein ring, a rare and spectacular phenomenon, around the galaxy NGC 6505. This unprecedented observation opens new perspectives for studying dark matter ...

Einstein rings occur when light from a distant galaxy bends to form a glowing ring around another object in the foreground as that object is being observed. The rarely observed rings are named for ...

The European Space Agency’s (ESA) Euclid space telescope has discovered an extremely rare Einstein ring. Einstein rings of light are produced when two galaxies are almost perfectly aligned ...

and in April 2024 a different team found compelling evidence for dark matter in an Einstein ring formed by a distant quasar. Scientists have known about the galaxy in which Euclid spotted the ...

Astronomers with the European Space Agency’s Euclid mission have captured an unprecedented look at a rare cosmic phenomenon — and they made the observations purely by happenstance. Einstein ...

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.
