k Galaxy cluster and Einstein ring, HST image Galaxy cluster and Einstein ring, Hubble Space Telescope HST image. This image includes elliptical and spiral galaxies, seen at various orientations from edgeon to faceon. The central object is the galaxy cluster SDSS J01460929. The mass of this galaxy cluster is large enough to severely distort the spacetime around it, creating the curves that almost encircle the cluster. These arcs are examples of a gravity lensing phenomenon known as an Einstein ring. The ring is created as the light from a background galaxy is lensed around the intervening galaxy cluster by the force of gravity. Image published in 2018. Stock Photo - Afloimages

Galaxy cluster and Einstein ring, HST image

Galaxy cluster and Einstein ring, Hubble Space Telescope (HST) image. This image includes elliptical and spiral galaxies, seen at various orientations: from edge-on to face-on. The central object is the galaxy cluster SDSS J0146-0929. The mass of this galaxy cluster is large enough to severely distort the spacetime around it, creating the curves that almost encircle the cluster. These arcs are examples of a gravity lensing phenomenon known as an Einstein ring. The ring is created as the light from a background galaxy is lensed around the intervening galaxy cluster by the force of gravity. Image published in 2018.
