The light of a distant quasar, RX J1131, has been warped by an elliptical galaxy, creating a jeweled ring in this #NASAWebb image. This is created by gravitational lensing, which occurs as light bends around massive objects.

Can you spot the hidden galaxy? The bright blue spiral arm of one galaxy appears to contain a dusty orange patch that is in fact an entire galaxy in itself, according to Hubble’s velocity data. Eventually all three may merge to form a single galaxy. Credit: NASA, ESA.
