The European Space Agency's (ESA) Euclid space telescope has captured an image of a rare Einstein ring around a galaxy located approximately 590 million light-years from Earth.
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.
