5 days ago · The ring appears to encircle the center of a well-studied elliptical galaxy called NGC 6505, which is around 590 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Draco. That may sound far, but on the scale of the entire universe, NGC 6505 is close by. Thanks to Euclid’s high-resolution instruments, this is the first time that the ring of ...

4 days ago · The ring appears to encircle the center of a well-studied elliptical galaxy called NGC 6505, which is around 590 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Draco. That may sound far, but on the scale of the entire universe, NGC 6505 is close by. Thanks to Euclid’s high-resolution instruments, this is the first time that the ring of ...

5 days ago · In this paper we present imaging and spectroscopic data for the very first of these new strong lenses. A complete Einstein ring (z s = 0.4058) was discovered around the nearby galaxy NGC 6505 (z d = 0.042) which was identified in Euclid imaging for the first time, lensing a compact object at z s = 0.4058.

4 days ago · That may sound far, but on the scale of the entire universe, NGC 6505 is close by. Thanks to Euclid’s high-resolution instruments, this is the first time that the ring of light surrounding the galaxy has been detected. A close-up view of the center of the NGC 6505 galaxy, with the bright Einstein ring aligned with it, captured by ESA’s ...

1 day ago · The galaxy, called NGC 6505, is around 590 million light-years from Earth, a stone’s throw away in cosmic terms. But this is the first time that the ring of light surrounding its centre has been detected, thanks to Euclid’s high-resolution instruments. The ring around the foreground galaxy is made up of light from a farther out bright galaxy.

3 days ago · In this case, the Einstein ring appears around galaxy NGC 6505, which was first identified in 1884, according to the statement. At around 590 million light-years from Earth, NGC 6505 is relatively ...

4 days ago · Photos of the Einstein Ring show a bright ball of light in the center with a bright, cloudy ring around it. The ring is surrounding NGC 6505, a galaxy that astronomers say is nearby though it is ...

5 days ago · The Einstein ring is formed by gravitational lensing, with the mass of galaxy NGC 6505 bending and magnifying the light from a more distant galaxy into a ring. NGC 6505 is a well-known galaxy only around 590 million light-years from Earth, and Euclid’s discovery of a spectacular Einstein ring here was unexpected. Read more

5 days ago · The ring of light surrounding the centre of the galaxy NGC 6505, captured by ESA’s Euclid telescope, is a stunning example of an Einstein ring. NGC 6505 is acting as a gravitational lens, bending light from a galaxy far behind it.
