This phenomenon occurs when the gravitational field of a massive foreground galaxy bends the light from a more distant galaxy, in this case situated 4.42 billion light-years away, forming a nearly perfect ring of light. The discovery highlights Euclid's advanced capabilities in observing gravitational lensing effects, which are instrumental in studying the distribution of dark matter and the expansion of the universe. #obs_ack = Acknowledgement mention prov_progenitor = https://www.esa.int/Science_Exploration/Space_Science/Euclid/Euclid_discovers_a_stunning_Einstein_ring bib_reference = 2025A&A...694A.145O #bib_reference_url = URL to bibliographic reference obs_copyright = ESA/Euclid/Euclid Consortium/NASA, image processing by J.-C.
