The ring of light, known as an Einstein Ring, was discovered in September 2023 by Euclid, a space telescope on a six-year mission to map out the cosmos by observing billions of galaxies.

An Einstein ring is a gravitational lens phenomenon caused by the almost perfect alignment between a distant galaxy and a ...

The discovery of the Einstein ring around NGC 6505 came during an early testing phase of Euclid’s instruments in September 2023. Scientists were calibrating the telescope when they noticed an ...

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.
