Four Quasar Images Surround a Galaxy Lens
NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE
Four images of the same distant quasar appear around a foreground galaxy. This galaxy acts as a gravitational lens, bending the quasar's light and creating multiple images. By observing the flicker of these background quasars, astronomers can estimate the expansion rate of the universe.
