Hey, Space Placers!
Image Description: In the centre is an elliptical galaxy, seen as an oval-shaped glow around a small bright core. Around this is wrapped a broad band of light, appearing like a spiral galaxy stretched and warped into a ring, with bright blue lines drawn through it where the spiral arms have been stretched into circles. A few distant objects are visible around the ring on a black background.]
I was stunned when I saw this picture today from James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) - STUNNED! It is one of the most incredible images I have seen in over six decades of studying, observing, imaging and reporting on the Universe.
An elliptical galaxy in the center has enough mass to create an Einstein Ring that allows us to see a warped and much farther away glorious spiral galaxy in great details.
