  1. 🔭An extraordinary Einstein cross reveals hidden dark matter 🕳️

    An international team of astronomers has observed a galaxy in the early #universe that exhibits the rare form of an #EinsteinCross. The Einstein Cross is an astronomical phenomenon where the light of a very distant #galaxy is bent by the gravitational field of an intervening galaxy.

    🌌 The discovery contributes to the exploration of #darkmatter and the early universe.

  3. Astronomers Find a Rare "Einstein Cross"

    Astronomers use powerful gravitational lenses to peer farther into the Universe than they could with their telescopes alone. A foreground galaxy acts as a natural lens for a more distant galaxy, magnifying it and often splitting its light into several versions. When the alignment is almost perfect, the light is split four ways into an "Einstein Cross." Only a few of these have ever been discovered, and now astronomers have found a new one using the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument. It's both beautiful and scientifically valuable for studying the distant Universe.
