Euclid Telescope Captures Stunning Einstein Ring, Confirming Einstein's Theory
ESA's Euclid space telescope, designed to probe the mysteries of dark matter and dark energy, has made an incredible early discovery: a perfectly formed Einstein ring. This rare phenomenon, predicted by Einstein's theory of general relativity, showcases the power of gravitational lensing. The ring was found within the well-known galaxy NGC 6505, a relatively close 590 million light-years from Earth, making the discovery even more surprising.
