The Einstein ring is a rare example of gravitational lensing, which aids in mapping dark matter, discovering hidden galaxies, and studying the expansion of the universe.
This discovery confirms Einstein's theory of relativity and showcases the advanced capabilities of the Euclid telescope, raising hopes for more significant discoveries in the future.
