Scientists spot giant ‘Einstein ring’ nearby in space – by accident
Scientists have found a rare “Einstein ring” near Earth – stumbling on it almost by accident.The rare phenomenon was spotted in test images from Euclid, a powerful space telescope.Astronomers took the images to ensure that everything on Euclid was working as it should be.
Space telescope spots rare ‘Einstein ring’ of light around galaxy in our cosmic neighborhood
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — Europe’s Euclid space telescope has detected a rare halo of bright light around a nearby galaxy, astronomers reported Monday. The halo, known as an Einstein ring, encircles a galaxy 590 million light-years away, considered close by cosmic standards. A light-year is 5.8 trillion miles.
