C. Cuillandre, G. Anselmi, T. Li The European Space Agency's (ESA) Euclid telescope has located a rare hoop of light called an "Einstein ring" in a nearby elliptical galaxy. Though the galaxy has ...

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.

There are between 100 and 1,000 Einstein ring-like objects known, but only a few tens of them have been observed at the level of detail provided by the Euclid telescope, he said. While a distance ...
