Astronomers Discover Extremely Rare Einstein Ring in Early Euclid Telescope Data, Revealing Warped Space-Time
Euclid space telescope sent some images back to Earth during an early testing phase. While reviewing the pictures, astronomer and Euclid archive scientist Bruno Altieri found something incredibly rare: an Einstein ring circling a galaxy.
Space telescope reveals rare ‘Einstein ring’ phenomenon with startling clarity
The Einstein ring, formed as light from a distant galaxy bends to glow around another object in the foreground, could help solve the universe’s mysteries.
Scientists discover a rare “Einstein ring” near our Galaxy that will test Albert Einstein’s general theory of relativity
A rare Einstein ring spotted near our galaxy offers a unique chance to test Einstein’s general relativity and study the warping of space-time.
Euclid telescope discovers rare Einstein ring around nearby galaxy NGC 6505
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.
Space telescope finds rare 'Einstein Ring' of light in nearby galaxy
A rare ring of light surrounding a galaxy nearly 590 million light-years away from Earth has been discovered by a space telescope that scientists hope will uncover more cosmic phenomena throughout the universe, the European Space Agency announced on Monday.
