Euclid, the European Space Agency’s (ESA) ambitious space telescope, has made a groundbreaking discovery—an extraordinary Einstein Ring—right in our cosmic neighborhood. A rare Einstein ring ...

An Einstein Ring was discovered by the European Space Agency's Euclid space telescope in September 2023.

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.

By Ashley Strickland, CNN (CNN) — Astronomers with the European Space Agency’s Euclid mission have captured an unprecedented look at a rare cosmic phenomenon — and they made the observations ...

The Euclid space telescope has captured an Einstein ring, a rare and spectacular phenomenon, around the galaxy NGC 6505. This unprecedented observation opens new perspectives for studying dark ...

The Euclid space telescope’s findings support a cosmic phenomenon first predicted by Albert Einstein.

The NASA James Webb Space Telescope captured a stunning image of an Einstein ring, an optical phenomenon created by gravitational lensing. This rare sight, caused by light from a distant galaxy ...

An Einstein ring is light from a much more distant galaxy that bends in such a way as to perfectly encircle a closer object, in this case a well-known galaxy in the constellation Draco.

Astronomers have identified the closest ever Einstein ring, a rare phenomenon where light from a further-off galaxy is bent by the gravity of a galaxy closer to Earth. The ring was previously ...

Although this Einstein ring is stunning, Euclid's main job is searching for the more subtle effects of weak gravitational lensing, where background galaxies appear only mildly stretched or displaced.
