Languages: English. Scientists have discovered an incredible new "Einstein Ring"—a type of intergalactic mirage formed when a massive galaxy warps the fabric of spacetime like a colossal lens.

Astronomers have identified the closest ever Einstein ring, a rare phenomenon where light from a further-off galaxy is bent by the gravity of a galaxy closer to Earth. The ring was previously ...
