Gravitational lensing occurs when the gravity of a massive object, like a galaxy, warps the fabric of spacetime, bending the light from a more distant background object.

"They're so rare, and they're incredibly useful scientifically," said Conor O'Riordan of the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics.

The Einstein ring was found surrounding the galaxy NGC 6505, located a relatively close 590 million light-years from Earth.
