Euclid telescope has located a rare hoop of light called an "Einstein ring" in a nearby elliptical galaxy. Though the galaxy has been on humans' radar for 140 years, its halo is new—and it has a lot ...

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.

Since its launch in 2013, Gaia has been dedicated to creating an accurate three-dimensional map of the Milky Way. Using two high-precision optical telescopes, the spacecraft carefully records the ...

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.

"They're so rare, and they're incredibly useful scientifically," said Conor O'Riordan of the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics.
