A collage of fourteen by eight squares containing examples of gravitational lenses. Each example typically comprises a bright centre with smears of stars in an arc or multiple arcs around it as a result of light travelling towards Euclid from distant galaxies being bent and distorted by normal and dark matter in the foreground. In some rare cases the smearing is in a complete ring, creating a so-called Einstein Ring.
On Day 19 of #MAPSAdvent2025 we're sharing examples of gravitational lenses that #Euclid #space #telescope, whose massive visible-light camera was built by a UCL-led team, captured in its first observations of the Deep Field areas ๐
