They're quite neat, but haven't we had pictures of these for quite a while? Is there something new about this one, or is it ("just") an article reminding people that cool stuff still exists?
- Sharlin 9y agoYep, and the article pretty much admits that in the second half. The featured picture itself is years old. Title is pure clickbait.
- soared 9y agoIts not clickbait - the article says we know about less than 12 Einstein rings. So finding 1 occurence of something we've only seen 12 of seems significant.
- Sharlin 9y agoHmm... I could've sworn I've seen that exact photo several times before. But NASA does seem to claim it's new. Or at least the nasa.gov page was edited recently...
- soared 9y agoYeah another comment said the image is of an older one. There probably isn't a photo of the new one yet
- BurningFrog 9y agoSeen one Einstein ring, seen them all...
- batbomb 9y agoYes, for example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmic_Horseshoe https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmic_Horseshoe
- InclinedPlane 9y agoYes, the article is distinctly missing the word "another".
- ganzuul 9y agoMaybe reminding people that Hubble is still alive, and still doing science.
