The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), one of the most important things that humanity has developed, was launched into space on December 25, 2021 to reveal the secrets of the universe. The first photos from the telescope, which started its mission, came last month. In addition, the dazzling images of Jupiter have recently met with us.
Now, a brand new image has come from Webb. The image, shared by an astronomy graduate student on Reddit, showed that the groundbreaking telescope had captured an ‘Einstein Ring’ 12 billion light-years away.
Here is the dazzling photo of the Einstein ring:
Introduced with the ideas of the famous physicist Albert Einstein, the Einstein ring is called a ring-like image of rays from a distant galaxy due to an intervening massive object (this could be another galaxy). An example of gravitational lensing, this occurs when the distant galaxy, the closer galaxy, and the observer (in this case, James Webb) align. The galaxy in question in the image shared by Spaceguy44 is SPT-S J041839471.8, 12 billion light years away.
According to the explanations, we would not be able to reach this image without the Einstein Ring, because this bending of light allows the study of galaxies that are normally impossible to see. Those who want to experience this situation in real life can see this by looking from the top of a wine glass to the base.
Finally, it is stated that this image was taken with Webb’s mid-infrared (MRI) camera. The same region had previously been viewed by Webb; but let’s also point out that that image is not as clear as it is now. Also before Webb
