I hadn’t heard of the Einstein Ring before. What a cool feature.
It feels very fortunate to be around for all of these discoveries from JWST. It’s a joy to learn so much as a result of articles like these.
- ck2 3y agoIf you want to learn more/why this is one of my favorite series, PBS Space Time https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dgv2WWpm7_s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dgv2WWpm7_s Just a warning though that each episode starts off gentle but by the end it's like "did I just take a 4th year astrophysics course?"
