Vertical VersionThis vertical version is for IG Reels. This image, taken with the Hubble Space Telescope, shows a distant galaxy located in the constellation Fornax. It is the largest and one of the most complete Einstein rings ever discovered.This object’s unusual shape is the result of gravitational lensing. Albert Einstein, in his general theory of relativity, first theorised that a large gravitational field could act as a lens. For more information, visit https://nasa.gov/hubble.

Mystery of Galaxy's Missing Dark Matter Deepens

Vertical VersionThis vertical version of the episode is for IGTV or Snapchat. The IGTV episode can be pulled into Instagram Stories and the regular Instagram feed. When astronomers using NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope uncovered an oddball galaxy that looks like it doesn’t have much dark matter, some thought the finding was hard to believe and looked for a simpler explanation. Dark matter, after all, is the invisible glue that makes up the bulk of the universe’s contents. All galaxies are dominated by it; in fact, galaxies are thought to form inside immense halos of dark matter. So, finding a galaxy lacking the invisible stuff is an extraordinary claim that challenges conventional wisdom. It would have the potential to upset theories of galaxy formation and evolution.For more information, visit https://nasa.gov/hubble. Additional Visualizations:Galaxy Motion Simulation: Credit: ESO/L.
