Einstein Rings

Einstein Rings is a gravitational lensing phenomenon in which the exact alignment of a distant light source, a massive foreground lensing object, and the observer results in the symmetric bending of light into a complete circular arc, serving as a singular observational manifestation of strong lensing predicted by general relativity.
