The Hubble Space Telescope captured this image of galaxy cluster Abell 1689. This view shows Abell 1689 bending light from galaxies that lie behind the cluster to produce multiple, curved images of the distant galaxies, (c) NASA, N. Benitez (JHU), T.

The Einstein Cross and the galaxy that causes this 'cosmic mirage,' as seen with the FORS instrument on ESO's Very Large Telescope. This cross-shaped configuration consists of four images of a single very distant source. The multiple images are a result of gravitational lensing by a foreground galaxy, an effect that was predicted by Albert Einstein as a consequence of his theory of general relativity. The light source in the Einstein Cross is a quasar approximately ten billion light-years away, whereas the foreground lensing galaxy is ten times closer. The light from the quasar is bent in its path and magnified by the gravitational field of the lensing galaxy, (c) ESO, F. Courbin et al.Astronomers dissect a supermassive black hole with natural magnifying glasses

Cosmic lens reveals distant galactic violence

— 21 Oct 2008 10:28 | Astronomy

By cleverly unravelling the workings of a natural cosmic lens, astronomers have gained a rare glimpse of the violent assembly of a young galaxy in the early Universe. Their new picture... — full story

The illustration shows the two pulsars which orbit the common centre of mass in only 144 minutes. The system was discovered by astronomers from the University of Manchester as part of an international team in 2003 and it is the eclipses observed in this system that have lead to this study, (c) Michael Kramer, University of ManchesterObservations of unique dead star system show effects of general relativity

— 3 Jul 2008 18:00 | Astronomy

Eclipses in a unique system of two dead stars, called pulsars, has shown that one of the pair is 'wobbling' in space - just like a spinning top. The effect, called precession, is precisely... — full story
