The gravitational lens created by the galaxy in the foreground creates four images of the active galaxy, each with a bright galactic core and two large jets of material extending from it.

One such discovery, dubbed the “Einstein zig-zag,” represents a rare alignment of galaxies and a quasar that creates a unique six-image gravitational lens. This extraordinary configuration ...

it will bend light to such a degree that you might see multiple images of the same light source. That’s called strong gravitational lensing. There is also an effect called weak gravitational ...

The first science image released by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) was of a gravitational lens, in particular the galaxy cluster SMACS J0723.3−7327. Gravitational lenses, especially galaxy ...

The image is faint but you can make out two outer arcs and then two inner arcs close to the centre of the galaxy nucleus. That’s a double gravitational lens. Double gravitational lensing could ...

The images created by the solar gravitational lens would be spread out over tens of kilometers of space, so the spacecraft would have to scan the entire field to build up a complete mosaic image.
