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.

Europe’s Euclid space telescope has detected a rare halo of bright light around a nearby galaxy. The halo, known as an Einstein ring, encircles a galaxy 590 million light-years away.

A European space telescope captured a rare halo of light that circles a galaxy that is 590 million light-years away, which is close in cosmic estimates.

Scientists say they have spotted a rare circle of light in space, which comes from a far-away galaxy which has never been observed before.

The structure is nearly 600 million light-years from Earth and is an early display of the nascent dark matter telescope's power.

A POWERFUL telescope floating in space has discovered an extremely rare Einstein ring of light around a nearby galaxy. The Euclid telescope, from the European Space Agency, captured images of the

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.

Einstein predicted the existence of gravitationally-warped rings of light in 1915. Now, a new one has been discovered just a cosmic stone's throw from our own planet.
