Using the same technology Tesla is using to teach cars to drive themselves, European astronomers are using artificial intelligence to seek out and find many new gravitational lenses.

The ring is caused by a near-perfect alignment of two galaxies with respect to Earth. One galaxy is 'lensing' the other galaxy's light.

Article shows how gravitational lensing proves dark matter

The center of this image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope is framed by the tell-tale arcs that result from strong gravitational lensing, a striking

Dive into the heart of a supermassive black hole with this breathtaking image. Marvel at the intricate detail of the accretion disk, glowing with intense heat and swirling matter, creating brilliant jets of energy. The perfect exposure and professional color grading capture the awe-inspiring beauty of this cosmic phenomenon. Gravitational lensing bends light into perfect rings, showcasing the power of this celestial giant. This ultra HD scientific visualization is not just a picture; it's a…

Have you ever seen an Einstein Ring? The James Webb Space Telescope recently detected the Universe's most distant molecules, which lie behind the blue foreground galaxy. Due to intense gravitational lensing, the light is diverted on its way to Earth. Can you put a ring on this? 💍 #NASA #JWST #einsteinring #space

General Relativity had to be right. Here's how we knew.

Gravitational lensing is a phenomenon by which a body containing a large mass (stars, for example) bends the space around it, thereby bending the path of light as it travels. Some physical objects are simple, but have profound applications. Take lenses, for example. The glasses your grandma wears to recognize a stranger is a lens. The microscope used by science geeks like us is a lens. The magnifying glass you use to read tiny text is a lens. If you casually observe a lens, you might say…
