Discovery of Stunning Einstein Ring by European Space Agency’s Euclid–the Dark Universe Detective

When parsing through images meant to test the camera on a new space telescope, scientists recently recognized a striking and rare phenomenon that had been perfectly captured by the craft. A galaxy, shining in the distance, was tightly encircled by a halo of white light—also known as an Einstein Ring, and the result of gravitational […] The post Discovery of Stunning Einstein Ring by European Space Agency’s Euclid–the Dark Universe Detective appe…

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, predicted by Einstein’s theory of relativity, reveals the power of gravitational lensing, allowing scientists to glimpse far-off galaxies otherwise [...]
