The Einstein ring observed by Euclid is a direct illustration of the theory of general relativity. According to Albert Einstein, light bends in the presence of massive objects, creating ...

The "Cosmic Horseshoe" is an Einstein ring, a system made up of a foreground galaxy whose mass is so great, it warps the light from a galaxy behind it. Now, astronomers know where it gets this mass ...

“Even from that first observation, I could see it, but after Euclid made more observations of the area, we could see a perfect Einstein ring. For me, with a lifelong interest in gravitational ...

Astronomers have made a surprising discovery that challenges current theories of galaxy formation. A colossal disk-shaped ...

When the test images were sent back to Earth, Euclid Archive Scientist Bruno Altieri spied what appeared to be an Einstein ring. Einstein rings occur when light from a distant galaxy bends to form ...

Now, thanks to the European Space Agency’s $1 billion Euclid telescope, scientists have found one of the most pristine examples yet — a complete Einstein ring in the elliptical galaxy NGC 6505.

Albert Einstein predicted in 1912 that massive objects should bend light as it passes through their gravitational field. He published his theory of general relativity four years later, and the ...
