COSMIC MESSAGE
The gravity of a galaxy acts as a lens, bending light from a quasar directly behind it. This creates four separate images of the same distant quasar, as seen in this image. By analyzing these lensed images, astronomers can measure the universe's expansion rate. This phenomenon is a powerful tool for understanding cosmology.
