The European Space Agency's (ESA) Euclid telescope captured an Einstein ring—a luminous circle formed by the gravitational bending of light around the galaxy NGC 6505. Researcher Bruno Altieri ...

The ring of light surrounding the centre of the galaxy NGC 6505, captured by ESA’s Euclid telescope, is a stunning example of an Einstein ring. NGC 6505 is acting as a gravitational lens ...

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

The Euclid space mission of the European Space Agency has spotted an Einstein ring in the galaxy NGC 6505, just 590 million lightyears from the earth.

Euclid initially captured an image of a well-observed galaxy named NGC 6505, which is located about 590 million light-years from Earth, in 2023. A light-year is the distance light travels in one ...

One such revelation arrived in the form of an astonishing discovery around the elliptical galaxy NGC 6505 – a complete Einstein ring, captured by the keen eyes of the Euclid space telescope.

The galaxy, NGC 6505, itself is not new to scientists and ... was suddenly easy to find because of Euclid's high resolution and sensitivity. "You'd think that after generations of telescopes ...

Visual evidence from Euclid reveals an Einstein ring encircling NGC 6505, a galaxy situated approximately 590 million light-years away. While this is a massive distance, astronomers consider it ...
