Ain’t tennis great?!
A certain prime minister we all know of thinks he’s out of this world. No doubt, he’ll claim that the galaxy is modelled after him.
Is it banana-in-pants shape? Stained with shoe polish?
“Gravitational lensing can produce some distortion, but in this case, the alignment between the two galaxies was almost exact, according to the statement. This makes SPT0418-47 appear as a nearly perfect ring in the raw images. Researchers found the true shape and gas motion of the galaxy using a new computer model.”
The galaxy appears as a ring because they are using gravitational lensing of another object. From that they can recreate the galaxy. Unreal.
