Space telescope spots rare ‘Einstein ring’ of light around galaxy in our cosmic neighborhood
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — Europe’s Euclid space telescope has detected a rare halo of bright light around a nearby galaxy, astronomers reported Monday. The halo, known as an Einstein ring, encircles a galaxy 590 million light-years away, considered close by cosmic standards. A light-year is 5.8 trillion miles.
Scientists spot rare Einstein ring of light from far-away galaxy which has never been observed before
The ring is made up of light from a galaxy 4.42 billion light-years away and what can be seen from Earth is distorted by gravity. The distant galaxy itself has not been observed before and has not yet been named.

Extremely rare ‘Einstein ring’ discovered close to Earth
Euclid space telescope has discovered an extremely rare Einstein ring. Einstein rings of light are produced when two galaxies are almost perfectly aligned, with one behind the other from a fixed perspective.
Einstein ring spotted around galaxy a ‘mere’ 500 million light years away
Scientists have found a rare Einstein ring in “our cosmic backyard” using images from the Euclid space telescope. The discovery, published in the journal Astronomy And Astrophysics, is of a circle of light created by gravitational lensing around a galaxy 500 million light years away called NGC 6505.
