By verifying amazing gravitational lensing phenomena known as an "Einstein zig-zag" in the far-off system J1721+8842, the James Webb Space Telescope created history. The gravitational force of two aligned galaxies causes light from a quasar to be bent and copied six times, producing a distinctive "zig-zag" pattern.
This discovery demonstrates the complex warping of space-time, which was predicted by Einstein's general theory of relativity in 1915.
In addition to its striking visual impact, the Einstein zigzag offers important insights into dark energy, which aids scientists in fine-tuning cosmological parameters and comprehending the accelerated expansion and structural history of the universe.
