Euclid image of a bright Einstein ring around galaxy NGC 6505 (IMAGE)
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 light from a galaxy far behind it.
The Einstein ring was found surrounding the galaxy NGC 6505, located a relatively close 590 million light-years from Earth.
It is a cosmic phenomenon that elegantly showcases the warping of space-time, a consequence of gravity predicted over a ...
