Einstein_s Ring-HST.jpgThe "Einstein's Ring" (Gravitational Lensing)79 visiteThe thin blue bull's-eye patterns in these 8 HST images appear like neon signs floating over reddish-white blobs. The blobs are giant elliptical galaxies roughly 2 to 4 BLY away. The bull's-eye patterns are created as the light from galaxies twice as far away is distorted into circular shapes by the gravity of the giant elliptical galaxies.
This phenomenon is called Gravitational Lensing, first predicted by Albert Einstein almost a century ago.
Gravitational Lensing occurs when the gravitational field from a massive object warps space and deflects light from a distant object behind it.
The bull's-eye patterns are so-called "Einstein rings", which are the most elegant manifestation of the "Lensing" phenomenon.
Einstein's Rings are produced when (at least) two galaxies are, from our viewpoint, almost perfectly aligned, one behind the other.Nov 19, 2005
