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.

A rare ring of light surrounding a galaxy nearly 590 million light-years away from Earth has been discovered by a space ...

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 is surrounding NGC 6505, a galaxy that astronomers say is nearby though it is hundreds of millions of light-years away. The galaxy, NGC 6505, itself is not new to scientists and has been ...
