by Located in the southern constellation of Fornax, GAL-CLUS-022058-38303 is a so-called Einstein ring — a distorted image of a gravitationally lensed distant galaxy.
In December 2020, the Hubble team released the image of the object as an example of one of the largest, nearly complete Einstein rings ever seen.
GAL-CLUS-022058-38303 was nicknamed the ‘Molten Ring’ by the Hubble astronomers, which alludes to its appearance and host constellation.
Using data from Hubble and the FORS instrument on ESO’s Very Large Telescope, astronomers have now studied GAL-CLUS-022058-38303 in detail.
