4 days ago · NGC 6505 is an elliptical galaxy with Hubble sequence classification E/S0 in the northern celestial hemisphere constellation Draco. It is about 608 million light years away from the Milky Way galaxy and has a diameter of about 190,000 light …

5 days ago · The ring appears to encircle the center of a well-studied elliptical galaxy called NGC 6505, which is around 590 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Draco. That may sound far, but on the scale of the entire universe, NGC 6505 is close by. Thanks to Euclid’s high-resolution instruments, this is the first time that the ring of ...

4 days ago · The galaxy, NGC 6505, itself is not new to scientists and has been studied since the 19th century, Jacqueline McCleary, assistant professor of physics at Northeastern University says.The Einstein ...

3 days ago · In this case, the Einstein ring appears around galaxy NGC 6505, which was first identified in 1884, according to the statement. At around 590 million light-years from Earth, NGC 6505 is relatively ...

3 days ago · The Euclid telescope captured a ring of light surrounding the center of the galaxy NGC 6505. The image also includes the extended halo of the galaxy, nearby stars and other distant galaxies.

5 days ago · The NGC 6505 gravitational lens was discovered by chance in one of the first patches of sky observed by Euclid, just two months after its July 2023 launch and during its mission verification phase

5 days ago · Euclid’s new Einstein ring. The Einstein ring that Euclid spotted is located in the galaxy NGC 6505.It is only a hop, skip, and a jump away from Earth at 590 million light-years away.

5 days ago · The ring of light surrounding the center of the galaxy NGC 6505, captured by ESA's Euclid telescope, is a stunning example of an Einstein ring. NGC 6505 is acting as a gravitational lens, bending ...

5 days ago · The Einstein ring is formed by gravitational lensing, with the mass of galaxy NGC 6505 bending and magnifying the light from a more distant galaxy into a ring. NGC 6505 is a well-known galaxy only around 590 million light-years from Earth, and Euclid’s discovery of a spectacular Einstein ring here was unexpected. Read more
