People have been observing galaxy NGC 6505 for 140 years, but only now noticed an "Einstein ring" at its center. There, gravity has bent and magnified another, more distant galaxy into a delicate ring of light.

The universe is full of beautiful, hidden surprises.

Euclid discovers a stunning Einstein ring

Euclid, the European Space Agency’s dark Universe detective, has made an astonishing discovery – right in our cosmic backyard.

What is the size ratio between the first photo everyone posts, and the second one where even my lousy vision sees the ring? Do other people see that ring in the first photo?
