ESA/Hubble & NASA, S. Allam et al. Gravitational lensing occurs when a telescope like Hubble is pointed at a distant target like this galaxy, and a large object such as a cluster of galaxies ...

A massive, spacetime-warping cluster of galaxies is the setting of today's NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image. The galaxy ...

The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has unveiled a stunning image of the Abell 209 galaxy cluster, located 2.8 billion ...

The Hubble Space Telescope is a constant source of pictures of the wonders of space, and this week's image shows a phenomenon called gravitational lensing. Skip to main content.

Now, astronomers have measured the Hubble constant using light from a supernova that exploded 9.34 billion years ago. On its way to Earth, the light passed through a galaxy cluster and was deflected ...

A colossal cluster of galaxies is bending the very fabric of space—and it’s the focus of this week’s breathtaking image from ...

The Hubble Space Telescope has captured the mirror image of a distant galaxy. NASA released the photo which appears to show two galaxies, but is actually one duplicated by gravitational lensing.

The Hubble constant is a measure of the Universe's expansion, as you can tell from its units, which are kilometers per second per Megaparsec. ... It relies on gravitational lensing, ...

“Gravitational lensing can result in multiple images of the original galaxy, as seen in this image,” the Hubble team wrote in an image description published by the European Space Agency (ESA ...

Gravitational lensing appears in new image from the Hubble Space Telescope. ... Hubble has such a wide scope because this scene is playing out 8 billion light-years from Earth.

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope captures an alluring image of a cosmic cluster utilizing gravitational lensing. Hubble captured the image using two of its instruments, the Wide Field Camera 3 and ...

Gravitational lensing wasn’t always so well understood. In the 1980s, astronomers initially misinterpreted similar arcs as gargantuan celestial structures, potentially the largest objects ever seen.
