"This ESA/Webb Picture of the Month shows eight stunning examples of gravitational lensing. Gravitational lensing, which was first predicted by Einstein, occurs because massive objects like galaxies and clusters of galaxies dramatically warp the fabric of spacetime."

"The Kilo-Degree Survey has said its last word on one of the most polarising tensions in cosmology! The final KiDS results reconcile early- and late-Universe measurements of the distribution of dark matter in the Universe. As we enter the golden era of gravitational lensing with surveys such as Euclid, this analysis drives the state-of-the-art of weak lensing cosmology and teaches us important lessons for the future." - MvWK

"These observations are tremendously exciting: they demonstrate the capabilities of this precision instrument, while already pushing the cutting-edge in astrophysics. Among the results, it is astonishing that Euclid has already discovered 500 gravitational lens candidates substantially adding to the total of approximately 1,000 previously known lensed galaxies, which took over 40 years to discover! At this rate, Euclid is expected to observe 200,000 such objects over six years of the survey. These observations, together with the two billion galaxies Euclid will image, will help us understand how dark matter is distributed in the Universe and may allow us to uncover its nature. " - MvWK
