The Einstein ring was found surrounding the galaxy NGC 6505, located a relatively close 590 million light-years from Earth.

Such examples of gravitational lensing can help astronomers learn more about the properties of dark matter Margherita Bassi Daily Correspondent Galaxy NGC 6505 and its surrounding Einstein ring ...

"This first strong gravitational lens discovered by Euclid has unique characteristics." The Euclid space telescope has, by chance, discovered its first Einstein ring, and it is absolutely stunning.

NGC 6505 is acting as a gravitational lens, bending light from a galaxy far behind it. The almost perfect alignment of NGC 6505 and the background galaxy has bent and magnified the light from the ...
