- The ESA’s Euclid telescope identified an Einstein Ring encircling the galaxy NGC 6505, located nearly 590 million light-years from Earth.
- This ring results from the alignment of NGC 6505 with another unnamed galaxy 4.42 billion light-years distant.
- Einstein Rings are a form of strong gravitational lensing caused by light bending around massive celestial objects.
- The finding will aid in studying dark matter and provide insights into distant galaxies from the early universe.
We'll be able to study distant old galaxies from early in the universe's history in far better detail and in far greater numbers than we have been able to up to this point.— Jacqueline McCleary, assistant professor of physics at Northeastern University, on the future research possibilities with the Euclid telescope.
