  Astronomers Detect Black Hole 36 Billion Times the Sun’s Mass, Among Largest Ever Found

  Astronomers have detected a dormant black hole with a mass equal to 36 billion Suns in the Cosmic Horseshoe system, 5 billion light-years away. Identified via gravitational lensing and stellar motion, it ranks among the largest known black holes. The discovery sheds light on the link between galaxy size and central black hole growth.

  James Webb Space Telescope Reveals a Stunning Einstein Ring in Hydrus

  A striking new image from the James Webb Space Telescope reveals an Einstein ring in the Hydrus constellation. The phenomenon occurs when a massive foreground galaxy bends light from a hidden background galaxy, forming a near-perfect ring. This effect, predicted by Einstein’s theory of general relativity, helps astronomers study galaxies from the...

  Euclid Space Telescope Discovers Rare Einstein Ring, Revealing Dark Matter Secrets

  The Euclid space telescope has detected a rare Einstein ring around galaxy NGC 6505, located approximately 590 million light-years from Earth. This phenomenon, resulting from gravitational lensing, allows scientists to study the distribution of dark matter within the lensing galaxy. The discovery aligns with Euclid's mission to map cosmic structure...

  James Webb Space Telescope Finds First Evidence of Einstein Zig-Zag Phenomenon In a Distant Quasar

  Data from the James Webb Space Telescope has revealed the first-ever Einstein zig-zag, where light from quasar J1721+8842 bends through two distinct warped space-time regions. Six mirrored images of the quasar and a faint Einstein ring confirm this rare lensing effect. Scientists believe this discovery could help resolve critical issues in cosmolog...

  Nearly Perfect Einstein Ring 12 Billion Light-Years Away Spotted by NASA’s Webb Space Telescope

  NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, the world's biggest and most powerful space science telescope, captured an Einstein ring, which is located nearly 12 billion light-years away, is the result of the gravitational lensing phenomena caused by the gravitational field from a massive object wraps space and deflects light from a distant galaxy behind it.

  Scientists Discovered Rare 'Einstein Ring'

  Scientists have discovered one of the most symmetrical Einstein rings - a rare astronomical phenomena - created by a galaxy located 10,000 million light years away that is hidden behind a more massive galaxy. Einstein rings, predicted by Einstein's theory of General Relativity, are quite rare but scientifically interesting.
