A collage of Euclid images shows examples of gravitational lenses, where foreground objects bends and distorts the light of more distant features into arcs or, in rare cases, complete Einstein rings.

Cuillandre) A new citizen science project invites the public to scan never-before-seen images from the Euclid Space Telescope in search of galaxies bending spacetime. Led by the European Space Agency (ESA), the initiative, called Space Warps , uses data from Euclid to crowdsource the search for rare cosmic distortions known as gravitational lenses . These occur when massive foreground objects such as galaxies or galaxy clusters warp spacetime, bending and magnifying the light from more distant background objects.…
