NASA has captured an image of a "Molten Ring" through Hubble Telescope after physicist Albert Einstein initially theorizing the phenomenon several decades ago, proving him correct about what is out in the galaxy. The image shows a majestic snap of a glowing and warped object in space which is around the edge of the galaxy.

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration, NASA, has recently discovered a new phenomenon right at the galaxy's edge with light bending around it, creating a mysterious spherical glow and rare sightings in space. Everything that the image and discovery show dates back to its initial mention and theorization during the 20th century.

According to NASA, the "Molten Ring" is also known as the "Einstein Ring," named after one of the most popular physicists and scientists in the world, Albert Einstein, who mentioned the phenomenon in his theory of relativity. While the emergence of this molten ring seems like an event in a science fiction movie, this was actually captured by a modern lens, the Hubble Space Telescope.

The Molten Ring was discovered in a deep space location, right at the southern hemisphere constellation of Fornax, a.k.a "The Furnace." The Molten Ring was also dubbed as GAL-CLUS-022058s, depicting one of the most complete rings and most massive to appear among the lenses of the Hubble. 

The name comes from its appearance of a seemingly liquid mass that floats around the cosmos, almost as if looking directly into a water droplet that absorbs and refracts light. However, in the Molten Ring's case, it is not an object placed there and changes the appearance of light, rather manipulates the elements around it.

Molten Ring: Einstein Ring that Warps the Fabric of Space and Time

NASA's discovery of the Molten Ring is a massive achievement for the Hubble Telescope as it sees an almost complete version that proves the old theory by Albert Einstein correct. Before, there were small and incomplete rings that do not support the theory wholly. 

The Einstein Ring is a phenomenon created by the process known as "gravitational lensing," that uses gravity's force to pull the light around it (and even farther ones) toward it, from one point in space to another. The latest Einstein Ring, which was dubbed as a Molten Ring, took the light from its background and warped it into the curved shape, to be seen by those in front, the planet Earth. 

NASA's Hubble Telescope timed the image correctly, capturing an almost complete alignment of the background galaxy to the gravitational lensing, showing an almost perfect ring in the process. Some background light behind it also shows minor Einstein Ring phenomenons and gravitational lensing. 

The Hubble Telescope captured an important Einstein Ring which "magnifies" the galaxy behind it, making it available for studying and closer look for the Earth's scientists and researchers.
