Astronomers Discover Extremely Rare Einstein Ring in Early Euclid Telescope Data, Revealing Warped Space-Time
Euclid space telescope sent some images back to Earth during an early testing phase. While reviewing the pictures, astronomer and Euclid archive scientist Bruno Altieri found something incredibly rare: an Einstein ring circling a galaxy.
Euclid telescope discovers rare Einstein ring around nearby galaxy NGC 6505
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.
Discovery of Stunning Einstein Ring by European Space Agency’s Euclid–the Dark Universe Detective
A galaxy in the distance, was tightly encircled by a halo of light—also known as an Einstein Ring, a result of gravitational lensing.
Einstein Was Right – Euclid Just Captured Space-Time Warping in a Perfect Cosmic Ring
Euclid, a space telescope on a mission to uncover the secrets of dark matter and dark energy, has already made a stunning discovery: a perfectly formed Einstein ring hidden in a well-known galaxy. This rare phenomenon,
Euclid discovers a stunning Einstein ring
Euclid blasted off on its six-year mission to explore the dark universe on 1 July 2023. Before the spacecraft could begin its survey, the team of scientists and engineers on Earth had to make sure everything was working properly.
Euclid 'dark universe' telescope discovers stunning Einstein ring in warped space-time (image)
The "dark universe detective" space telescope Euclid has discovered its first Einstein ring in the process, learning about dark matter at the heart of a distant galaxy.
Euclid telescope spots a rare Einstein Ring in a nearby galaxy
The Euclid Space Telescope has captured a remarkable image showing an extremely rare phenomenon: a ring of light around the center of a galaxy, known as an Einstein Ring. These structures appear in telescope images due to the distorting effects of gravity, and they allow researchers to study distant galaxies which might otherwise be insibile.
Euclid Space Telescope Discovers Rare Einstein Ring, Revealing Dark Matter Secrets
The Euclid space telescope has identified a rare Einstein ring, offering new insights into dark matter distribution.
Rare 'Einstein Ring' spotted around a nearby galaxy for the first time
A Euclid space telescope has spotted a rare halo of bright light known as an "Einstein Ring" in a galaxy not so far, far away.
ESA’s space telescope Euclid discovers ‘astonishing' Einstein ring
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.
ESA's Euclid spacecraft spots 'stunning' rare Einstein Ring in far off galaxy
A European Space Agency telescope has discovered its first "extremely rare" Einstein ring in a galaxy "not too far away" nearly 600 million light years from Earth.
