Space telescope finds rare 'Einstein Ring' of light in nearby galaxy
A rare ring of light surrounding a galaxy nearly 590 million light-years away from Earth has been discovered by a space telescope that scientists hope will uncover more cosmic phenomena throughout the universe, the European Space Agency announced on Monday.
New data reveals a 3-million-light-year filament connecting two galaxies, each of which hosts a supermassive black hole.
Researchers say they've discovered the largest known object in the universe, a galactic superstructure called Quipu.
