Space Telescope "Euclid" Makes Sensational Discovery

The European Space Agency (ESA) has announced a unique finding by its new telescope "Euclid". The space hunter has captured one of the rarest phenomena in the Universe - an Einstein ring, confirming the great physicist's theory of relativity.

Historical background: Albert Einstein predicted the existence of such rings back in 1915 when he presented his revolutionary general theory of relativity. However, the first such ring was only discovered in 1987.

The new ring formed due to a unique cosmic phenomenon - gravitational lensing. Galaxy NGC 6505, located 590 million light-years away from Earth, bent light from a more distant galaxy situated 4.42 billion light-years away.

Breakthrough in Dark Matter Research

According to lead researcher Conor O'Riordan, this discovery is of enormous significance for science. Until now, astronomers knew of less than 1000 such lenses, but thanks to Euclid's capabilities, this number could increase to 100,000.

Statistics show: the probability of detecting a perfect Einstein ring is less than 1 in 100,000, making each discovery truly unique.
