Hubble Telescope Discovers a Light-
Bending 'Einstein Ring' in Space

The graceful arcs at the center of this image from the Hubble Space Telescope are actually the distorted light of distant galaxies,
twisted to form an "Einstein ring" by the gravitational influence of the closer galaxy cluster SDSS J0146-0929.

The perfect circle surrounding a galaxy cluster in a new Hubble Space Telescope image
is a visual indicator of the huge masses that are bending time and space in that region.
The galaxy cluster, called SDSS J0146-0929, features hundreds of individual galaxies all bound together by gravity.
There's so much mass in this region that the cluster is distorting light from objects behind it. This phenomenon is called an Einstein ring.
The ring is created as the light that comes from distant objects, like galaxies, passes by "an extremely large mass, like this galaxy cluster," NASA said in a statement. "In this image, the light from a background galaxy is diverted and distorted around the massive intervening cluster and forced to travel along many different light paths toward Earth, making it seem as though the galaxy is in several places at once." [Hubble's Most Amazing Discoveries]
The ring is named after Albert Einstein, who wrote his theory of general relativity in the early 1900s. In it, he suggested that a massive object would warp space and time. This process is known today as a gravitational lens. When the most massive galaxies and galaxy clusters get in line with a more distant object, they produce an Einstein ring – a type of gravitational lens
Einstein rings (and gravitational lenses more generally) give astronomers a huge advantage when they are trying to look at faraway objects.
The rings and lenses magnify objects that otherwise would be too distant and dim to see in today's telescopes.
In 2015, for example, astronomers took advantage of an Einstein ring to look at star-forming regions in a galaxy formed just 2.4 billion years after the Big Bang. This will provide more insight into how galaxies came together in the early universe.
Another Einstein ring popped up in 2016, in a star group within the Sculptor dwarf galaxy.
At the time, researchers said there are less than a dozen known Einstein rings that are partial or full.
The scientific team added that they plan to use this particular Einstein ring in Sculptor to probe the nature of dark matter.
This may help scientists learn about the large-scale structure of the universe, since roughly 80 percent of it is made up of
dark matter and dark energy, which cannot be directly observed.

“If the stars should appear but one night in a thousand years, how men would believe and adore; and preserve for many generations the remembrance of the city of God which had been shown! But every night come out these envoys of beauty, and light the universe with their admonishing smile.”― Ralph Waldo Emerson
The richest man in Babylon.
"How," some of the men ask, "Can a man keep one-tenth of all he earns in his purse when all the coins he earns are not enough for his necessary expenditures?" "How many of you have lean purses," Arkad asks. All of the men say that they have lean purses, that they have no money.
"Yet," Arkad responds, "Thou do not all earn the same. Some earn much more than others. Some have much larger families to support.
Yet, all purses are equally lean. Now I will tell them an unusual truth about men and the sons of men.
It is this: That what each of us calls our necessary expenses' will always grow to equal our incomes unless we protest to the contrary."
Arkad tells the men not to confuse necessary expenses with their desires, that all men are burdened with more desires than they can gratify.
"Budget thy expenses that thou mayest have coins to pay for thy necessities, to pay for thy enjoyments and to gratify thy worthwhile desires without spending more than nine-tenths of thy earnings."
