"The idea that they can somehow obliterate these sources is dead wrong — scientists in general and astronomers in particular ...

Gravitational lensing occurs when the gravity of a massive object, like a galaxy, warps the fabric of spacetime, bending the light from a more distant background object.

"They're so rare, and they're incredibly useful scientifically," said Conor O'Riordan of the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics.

A rare ring of light surrounding a galaxy nearly 590 million light-years away from Earth has been discovered by a space ...

For over a century, astronomers have searched the skies for a perfect example of a phenomenon predicted by Albert Einstein: a ...
