Abell S1063 is so massive that the light from distant galaxies bends around it, allowing it to act as a magnifying glass to ...

Webb takes a closer look at Abell S1063, a distant galaxy cluster that acts like a cosmic lens, peering into the universe’s ...

We can create gravitational lenses where the gravity of a massive object can bend all the light that comes near it and send it to a focal point where you can just sit and enjoy the magnified image ...

A new fortuitous alignment has allowed a cluster of galaxies to play a crucial role. Nicknamed the “carousel lens,” this unique gravitational lens reveals not one, but seven distant galaxies.

Astronomers have found an incredible gravitational lens. Thanks to a chance alignment, a foreground cluster of galaxies has magnified the light of not one, but seven background galaxies ...

Inquisitive aliens are (likely) not responsible — rather, it's caused by a rare form of a common cosmological phenomenon called gravitational lensing, NASA researchers revealed in a statement.
