James Webb Telescope Discovers Sparkling 'Jeweled Ring' in Space
TL;DR Summary
The James Webb Space Telescope has captured a stunning image of the quasar RX J1131-1231, located six billion light-years away, using gravitational lensing to magnify and reveal it as a "bejeweled ring." This phenomenon, first predicted by Einstein, allows astronomers to study distant objects and regions close to black holes. The image, named the Webb Telescope’s ‘Picture of the Month,’ showcases four images of the quasar, aiding in the study of dark matter.
