A stunning new image from the James Webb Space Telescope reveals a cosmic mirage known as an Einstein ring, where the light ...

The elliptical galaxy at the center of this Einstein ring belongs to a galaxy cluster named SMACSJ0028.2-7537. It can be seen as the oval-shaped, featurless glow around the small bright core.

"Could our galaxy one day experience similar high-energy phenomena that will have serious consequences for the survival of precious life in it?" ...

Webb captured an Einstein ring formed by a distant galaxy's light bending around a closer one. This rare alignment magnifies hidden galaxies.

"This discovery upends conventional wisdom, as such powerful jets are almost exclusively found in elliptical galaxies, not spirals," Suraj Dhiwar, a researcher at the Inter-University Centre for ...
