Euclid space telescope sent some images back to Earth during an early testing phase. While reviewing the pictures, astronomer ...
Gravitational lensing occurs when the gravity of a massive object, like a galaxy, warps the fabric of spacetime, bending the light from a more distant background object.
The Einstein ring was found surrounding the galaxy NGC 6505, located a relatively close 590 million light-years from Earth.
Scientists of course cannot cut into Earth and directly observe its insides. Instead, their knowledge is inferred from the ...
