Euclid telescope spots rare 'Einstein ring' hiding near Earth — and an ancient, unnamed galaxy behind it
Einstein predicted the existence of gravitationally-warped rings of light in 1915. Now, a new one has been discovered just a cosmic stone's throw from our own planet.
Ghost in the galaxy: Stunning Einstein ring spotted by Euclid
Einstein rings help scientists study dark matter and cosmic expansion. Euclid will find thousands more lenses to map the Universe’s structure
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.
Space telescope finds rare 'Einstein Ring' of light in nearby galaxy
A rare ring of light surrounding a galaxy nearly 590 million light-years away from Earth has been discovered by a space telescope that scientists hope will uncover more cosmic phenomena throughout the universe, the European Space Agency announced on Monday.
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.
Space Telescope Spots Rare 'Einstein Ring' of Light Around Galaxy in Our Cosmic Neighborhood
Europe’s Euclid space telescope has detected a rare halo of bright light around a nearby galaxy, astronomers reported Monday. The halo, known as an Einstein ring, encircles a galaxy 590 million light-years away,
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.
