The ring of light, known as an Einstein Ring, was discovered in September 2023 by Euclid, a space telescope on a six-year mission to map out the cosmos by observing billions of galaxies.

An Einstein ring is a gravitational lens phenomenon caused by the almost perfect alignment between a distant galaxy and a ...

Although this Einstein ring is stunning, Euclid's main job is searching for the more subtle effects of weak gravitational lensing, where background galaxies appear only mildly stretched or displaced.
