"The Einstein Ring, an extremely rare phenomenon, turned out to be hiding in plain sight in a galaxy not far away. The galaxy, called NGC 6505, is around 590 million light-years from Earth, a stone's throw away in cosmic terms. But this is the first time that the ring of light surrounding its center is detected, thanks to Euclid's high-resolution instruments.,"
