Hubble captures great image of what Einstein predicted(gravitational lensing)

[Chock Full o Nuts]

May be the best of the ones I've seen. Now if we could just find those pesky wormholes!

Einstein’s Vision Comes Alive in Stunning Hubble Capture

Explore the depths of space through Hubble’s latest snapshot from Hydra, revealing distant galaxies and the mesmerizing Einstein ring—a result of gravitational lensing that provides a glimpse into the universe's formative years. This week’s Hubble Space Telescope Picture of the Week highlights a

I watch any Hubble related documentary I can find.

One of the greatest achievements in space science.............................. and I'm not discounting all the other space probes either.

An example of what pisses me off so much when I go to an article or a video about some scientific thing and jackoffs in the comments say "this is all bull. That's just a theory. They don't know what's really going wrong".

If miracles were possible, a giant hand would materialize next to them and pimp slap them into next year. Yeah, Relativity is a "theory"....one that's been proven every time we've been able to test it.

That we don't have a quantum description of gravity doesn't mean that relativity is wrong about what it predicts on the macro scale, yadda yadda. There's more to learn, but just as Newton's laws are fully proven at a certain scale, so is relativity, and so is quantum mechanics. There's just...more. And that 'more' is going to have to be consistent with Newton's and Einstein's predictions at the scales to which they are relevant.

Absolutely beautiful and mesmerizing!

Because an absolutely remarkable mind predicted it before there was an actual picture to prove it? Must be a galactic conspiracy!
Morons...

It is, and to think what is going on there. Einstein was a bright MF er!

When you learn about how relativity actually works, and the fact that he just kinda worked out the concept in his head, it becomes even more impressive.

Every theory we have invented to describe nature is just a useful approximation. In certain circumstances, the approximation blows away from reality and new approximations have to be invented.

Of course, there's that alternate theory about how he came up with it...

The Hubble had a rocky start. But it's an impressive piece of engineering technology that has captured spectacular images and imaginations for decades. It's a shame the Hubble cannot be retrieved when it reaches the end of its operational life. It would make quite the attraction in the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum.

I won't argue, but Voyagers recent signal from about 15.5 billion miles away deserves to be in the conversation.

Fair point. It's amazing a NASA probe almost 50 years old, travelling through the hazards of space and outside the solar system is still functioning. Truly an impressive feat.
