Question

James Webb Space Telescope recently took picture of the ‘Einstein Ring’.
The image was captured using the James Webb Space Telescope’s MIRI (Mid-Infrared Instrument).
An Einstein ring is created when light from a galaxy or star passes by a massive object en route to the Earth. Due to gravitational lensing, the light is diverted, making it seem to come from different places.
Gravitational Lensing: As the light emitted by distant galaxies passes by massive objects in the universe, the gravitational pull from these objects can distort or bend the light.
