Schematic overview of a wide orbiting binary system within the Milky Way. As it moves through the galaxy, the ellipticity of its orbit changes due to the gravitational influence of the galaxy and encounters with nearby stars, leading to close encounters (small image).

New research shows how the host galaxy's gravity affects distant pairs of stars, bringing the black holes into extreme and rare collisions accompanied by powerful gravitational waves

"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
