Astronomers have discovered a super massive black hole (SMBH) at the center of the well-known Cosmic Horseshoe Einstein Ring system.
Using gravitational lensing effects and stellar kinematics (how an SMBH affects the motion of stars around it) and data on asymmetrically placed lensed images of another distant galaxy, the mass of the SMBH is estimated at 36 billion solar masses, close to a new record. The galaxy itself is estimated at 5.2 trillion solar masses.

The image features two individuals in a space-themed setting. The person on the left has voluminous, light-colored hair and is wearing a black and maroon uniform with a high collar and a distinctive insignia on the shoulder. The person on the right has short, dark hair and is wearing a similar uniform with a red and black color scheme. Both individuals are adorned with large hoop earrings. The background is a gradient of blue and green, with star-like specks, suggesting a cosmic environment.

Public relations giant Edelman is helping COP30 host-nation Brazil hone its media strategy for this year’s UN climate conference – even though it also works for Shell, one of the world’s biggest fossil fuel companies.
climatechangenews.com/2025/07/…
Shell nelle sue pubbliche dichiarazioni scrive che «il mondo ha bisogno di una strategia bilanciata e ordinata per la transizione dalle fonti fossili» ma dimentica di dire che gli effetti sul clima del suo modello di business sono noti alle aziende petrolifere da cinquant’anni.
Come sono ormai accertati i cinici tentativi di disinformazione e negazionismo. Una politica che ha impedito di cominciare a prendere provvedimenti, e quindi al ritardo attuale.
Per questo, avere una società che lavora per clienti dell’oil&gas e altri impegnati nella difesa del clima è un controsenso.

in reply to AkaSci 🛰️ • • •The diagram below illustrates the principle of an Einstein ring, formed when light from a distant object en route to an observer is bent by gravitational forces of an intervening object (e.g., a galaxy). This occurs because a massive body bends spacetime, as predicted by Einstein's theory of general relativity.
When the observer and objects are aligned, multiple images of the distant object can be seen in the shape of a ring.

in reply to AkaSci 🛰️ • • •The following diagram is my guess for why the two images for the other distant galaxy appear asymmetrically placed around the main Einstein Ring in post #1.
The other distant galaxy must be located slightly off-center from the line of sight through the intervening massive galaxy.
