The European Space Agency's Euclid space telescope was going through preliminary tests in September 2023 when it captured images of an Einstein Ring in a nearby galaxy.

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.

Euclid’s jaw-dropping capture of the closest Einstein ring ever seen reveals the hidden forces shaping our universe — and ...
