The discovery of the Einstein ring around NGC 6505 came during an early testing phase of Euclid’s instruments in September 2023. Scientists were calibrating the telescope when they noticed an ...

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.

This ring is formed by the light from a more distant galaxy, approximately 4.42 billion light-years away, which is bent and magnified by the gravity of NGC 6505.

The Euclid telescope captured a ring of light surrounding the center of the galaxy NGC 6505. The image also includes the extended halo of the galaxy, nearby stars and other distant galaxies.
