Consider the following statements regarding Einstein Ring
It is a ring of light around a form of dark matter and cluster of galaxies.
It can only be observed through space telescopes.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
1 only
2 only
Both
None
Both statements are correct.
Recently, the European Space Agency’s (ESA) Euclid space telescope has discovered a rare ring of light, known as an Einstein ring, around a galaxy nearly 590 million light-years away from Earth.
It is a ring of light around a form of dark matter, galaxy or cluster of galaxies.
It is essentially an example of gravitational lensing.
Einstein rings are not visible to the naked eye, and can be observed only through space telescopes such as Euclid.
In the case of the recently discovered Einstein ring, NGC 6505 was the gravitational lens.
The nearer galaxy distorted and amplified the light coming from a distant unnamed galaxy, located 4.42 billion light-years away.
These are named after mathematician and physicist Albert Einstein, whose general theory of relativity predicted that light could bend and brighten around objects across the cosmos.
The first Einstein ring was discovered in 1987, and since then, several more have been discovered.
Hence option 3rd is correct.
