"This diagram explains how the light from the distant galaxy is disrupted by the gravitational influence of a nearby galaxy that is in the way, acting like a lens and making the distant object appear blurry but bright. This process creates rings of light known as Einstein rings. Analysis of the disruption has revealed some of the star-producing galaxies At a great rate and brightness in the light of 40 trillion suns and it has been magnified by gravitational lensing up to 22 times. Figure: Alma (ESO/NRAO/NAOJ), L. Calçada (ESO), Y. Hezaveh et al.

Gravitational lensing has managed to provide an image of a small galaxy 9.4 billion light years away

Like a photographer putting together a portfolio of his best photographs, the astronomers put together an improved mirror that allowed for the deepest view of the universe (Credit: NASA; ESA; G.

Artist's impression of the accelerating star HE 0437-5439. The hot blue star was ejected from the Milky Way with enough speed to escape the galaxy's gravitational pull. It is now flying through the outer fringes of the Milky Way at a speed of 2.5 million km/h far above the disk of the galaxy, about 200 light years from the center. It is now destined to move in the bingalactic space. Image: NASA, European Space Agency et al. Bacon of the Space Telescope Science Institute.
