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

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

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.

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.

The ring of light surrounding the centre of the galaxy NGC 6505, captured by ESA’s Euclid telescope, is a stunning example of an Einstein ring. NGC 6505 is acting as a gravitational lens, bending ...

A close-up view of the centre of the NGC 6505 galaxy, with the bright Einstein ring around its nucleus, captured by ESA’s Euclid space telescope.   The Einstein ring is formed by gravitational lensing ...

The "dark universe detective" space telescope Euclid has discovered its first Einstein ring in the process, learning about ...

Euclid, a space telescope on a mission to uncover the secrets of dark matter and dark energy, has already made a stunning ...
