The Einstein ring, formed as light from a distant galaxy bends to glow around another object in the foreground, could help solve the universe’s mysteries.

Euclid space telescope sent some images back to Earth during an early testing phase. While reviewing the pictures, astronomer and Euclid archive scientist Bruno Altieri found something incredibly rare: an Einstein ring circling a galaxy.

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.

The European Space Agency (ESA), announced on Monday, that the Euclid telescope has discovered an Einstein ring 'hiding in plain sight' in a nearby galaxy. This galaxy named NGC 6505 is approximately 590 million light-years away from Earth, and it has been confirmed to be housing the perfect Einstein ring.

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.

Europe’s Euclid space telescope has detected a rare halo of bright light around a nearby galaxy. The halo, known as an Einstein ring, encircles a galaxy 590 million light-years away.

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 Euclid space telescope has captured a rare phenomenon called an Einstein ring that reveals the extreme warping of space by a galaxy’s gravity. The dazzling image shows a nearby galaxy, NGC 6505, surrounded by a perfect circle of light.

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