#PhotoOfTheDay: Spying a spiral through a cosmic lens

This James Webb Space Telescope photo features a rare cosmic phenomenon called an #EinsteinRing.

What first appears to be a single, strange galaxy is actually two galaxies that are separated by a large distance.

Astronomers Uncover Possibly the Largest Black Hole: It ‘Bends Light into a Giant Einstein Ring’ It may be the most massive black hole ever found. 36 billion times larger than the mass of our Sun, it was previously hidden from astronomers while existing at the heart of the Cosmic Horseshoe galaxy, previously photographed by space telescopes. The giant space phenomenon bends light into a perfect Einstein ring and “whips nearby […] The post Astronomers Uncover Possibly the Largest Black Hole: It ‘Bends Light into a Giant Einstein Ring’ appeared first on Good News Network.

A stunning Hubble Space Telescope image reveals a "molten Einstein ring," showcasing the gravitational lensing effect of galaxy cluster GAL-CLUS-022058c. Four distorted images of a distant background galaxy are arc-shaped around the cluster's core. This phenomenon helps astronomers map dark matter distribution and understand the formation of early galaxies.

“Einsteinring” vastgelegd door NASA’s James Webb Telescoop In het kort NASA’s James Webb-ruimtetelescoop heeft onlangs een afbeelding vastgelegd van een kosmisch fenomeen dat bekend staat als een “Einsteinring“. Dit hemelse wonder doet zich voor wanneer licht van een ver sterrenstelsel wordt gebogen en vervormd door de immense zwaartekracht van een ander, dichterbij gelegen sterrenstelsel. Stel je voor dat licht een kosmische omweg […] The post “Einsteinring” vastgelegd door NASA’s James Webb Telescoop appeared first on Newsmonkey.

There is so much about outer space (and physics) I don't understand.

Like the thing where gravity bends light. Those two don't seem like they should affect each other. Light doesn't have mass, does it?

And if a galaxy is 600m light years away, do we know if it still exists?

Euclid imaging data used in this work, and in which Altieri’s lens was discovered. The main panel shows a composite false colour image produced by combining the VIS and NISP data. The higher resolution broadband VIS IE image is used to set the brightness, with the colour provided by the lower resolution NISP YE, JE, and HE passband images. The central light of the galaxy is suppressed to make the lensed arc more visible. The inset shows only the higher resolution VIS data in the central 8″ of the image, indicated by the square in the main panel. The angular scale and the physical scale at the redshift of the lens are given in each frame.
