Einstein Rings

This is a picture taken by the Hubble Space Telescope which shows a thick cluster of galaxies. Very far behind this cluster are galaxies which are being gravitationally lensed--it is their light that makes the halos. In order for their light to be lensed in this way means that something truly massive and compact lies within this cluster. It might not be a supermassive black hole, but then again, it might.
