Gravitational lensing occurs when the gravity of a massive object, like a galaxy, warps the fabric of spacetime, bending the light from a more distant background object.

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

One such revelation arrived in the form of an astonishing discovery around the elliptical galaxy NGC 6505 – a complete Einstein ring, captured by the keen eyes of the Euclid space telescope.

A Euclid space telescope has spotted a rare halo of bright light known as an "Einstein Ring" in a galaxy not so far, far away ...

A European Space Agency telescope has discovered its first "extremely rare" Einstein ring in a galaxy "not too far away" ...

The Euclid Space Telescope has captured a remarkable image showing an extremely rare phenomenon: a ring of light around the center of a galaxy, known as an Einstein Ring. These structures appear in ...

The ring is surrounding NGC 6505, a galaxy that astronomers say is nearby though it is hundreds of millions of light-years away. The galaxy, NGC 6505, itself is not new to scientists and has been ...

Centaurus A: NGC 5128 is a galaxy in constellation Centaurus, discovered in 1826 by Scottish astronomer James Dunlop. Messier 81: NGC 3031 is a grand design spiral galaxy about 12 million light ...

It is a cosmic phenomenon that elegantly showcases the warping of space-time, a consequence of gravity predicted over a ...
