The European Space Agency’s Euclid space telescope has discovered an extremely rare Einstein ring.

Einstein rings of light are produced when two galaxies are almost perfectly aligned, with one behind the other from a fixed perspective.

They are one of the best examples we have of gravitational lensinga phenomenon that Albert Einstein predicted in 1915 .

The Einstein ring is located in the galaxy NGC 6505, 590 million light-years away.
