A rare ring of light surrounding a galaxy nearly 590 million light-years away from Earth has been discovered by a space telescope that scientists hope will uncover more cosmic phenomena throughout the universe, the European Space Agency announced on Monday.

The European Space Agency's Euclid space telescope was going through preliminary tests in September 2023 when it captured images of an Einstein Ring in a nearby galaxy.

The ring is made up of light coming from another galaxy almost 4.42 billion light years away and what we see from Earth is distorted by gravity.

A European Space Agency telescope has discovered its first "extremely rare" Einstein ring in a galaxy "not too far away" nearly 600 million light years from Earth.

An Einstein ring is light from a much more distant galaxy that bends in such a way as to perfectly encircle a closer object.
