Using the gravitational lensing power of galaxy cluster Abell 2744, Hubble has detected one of the farthest, faintest, and smallest galaxies ever seen. The small…
Astronomers have obtained the best view yet of a collision that took place between two galaxies when the Universe was only half its current age….
Using the Hubble Space Telescope astronomers have discovered the most distant galaxy that acts as a gravitational lens, breaking the previous record-holder by 200 million…
Astronomers used almost 200 images of distant galaxies combined with Hubble data to measure the total mass of galaxy cluster MCS J0416.1–2403 more precisely than…
Using gravitational lensing, astronomers from the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics measured the spectra of carbon, nitrogen, carbon monoxide, and water in a galaxy seen a…
This newly released Hubble image uses gravitational lensing to get a better look at distant galaxy clusters. Galaxy clusters are some of the most massive…
Using NASA’s Fermi observatory, researchers have made the first-ever gamma-ray measurements of a gravitational lens, opening new avenues for research and providing a new way…
Astronomers have detected the most distant gravitational lens yet, a lensing mass so distant that the light, after having been deflected, has traveled 9.4 billion…
Researchers from the Kavli IPMU have used gravitational lensing to identify a distant Type Ia supernova, named PS1-10afx, that exploded over 9 billion years ago….
This new Hubble Space Telescope image of Abell 68 is enhanced by gravitational lensing, showing swarms of galaxies that each have billions of stars and…
Astronomers have discovered an arc of light behind a galaxy cluster that is 5 to 10 times larger than other clusters from that early of…
Quasars, which are powered by supermassive black holes, are among the brightest objects in the universe and make it nearly impossible for astronomers to estimate…
Using computational tools that reversed the effect of gravitational lensing, scientists were able see what a galaxy looked like 10 billion years ago. Gravity from…
According to a recently completed statistical study by an international team of astronomers, our galaxy has at least 100 billion planets. Gravitational microlensing was used…
