Astronomers from Italy have captured the first image of an 'invisible galaxy' using Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity.
The galaxy is termed invisible because the light emitted couldn’t be seen from the earth.
Einstein's theory states that a mass distribution could act as a gravitational lens that bends light, and a team of astronomers from Italy used this idea to see the 'background' of the invisible galaxy.
The 'invisible galaxy' forms stars at about 1000 times the rate of the Milky Way.
And it is also very young - considering the big bang happened 13.8 billion years ago and formed two billion years later.
The team used the ALMA (Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array) telescope in Chile to capture this unbelievable observation.
