A rare Einstein ring spotted near our galaxy offers a unique chance to test Einstein’s general relativity and study the warping of space-time.

A POWERFUL telescope floating in space has discovered an extremely rare Einstein ring of light around a nearby galaxy. The Euclid telescope, from the European Space Agency, captured images of the

A rare ring of light surrounding a galaxy nearly 590 million light-years away from Earth has been discovered by a space telescope that scientists hope will uncover more cosmic phenomena throughout the universe, the European Space Agency announced on Monday.

An Einstein ring is light from a much more distant galaxy that bends in such a way as to perfectly encircle a closer object.

Scientists have found a rare Einstein ring in “our cosmic backyard” using images from the Euclid space telescope.

A European Space Agency telescope has discovered its first "extremely rare" Einstein ring in a galaxy "not too far away" nearly 600 million light years from Earth.

The structure is nearly 600 million light-years from Earth and is an early display of the nascent dark matter telescope's power.

The "dark universe detective" space telescope Euclid has discovered its first Einstein ring in the process, learning about dark matter at the heart of a distant galaxy.

Euclid mission is on a six-year mission to explore the evolution of the dark universe. View on euronews
