NASA's Hubble Identifies Gravitational Lens for Roman Telescope

  • NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has captured an image of a gravitational lens.
  • The lens is located in a barred spiral galaxy, with a background galaxy being magnified and distorted.
  • This discovery will help guide the Roman Space Telescope's observations.
  • The gravitational lens is a result of the gravity of a closer galaxy affecting a more distant one.
  • The image was taken to chart a path for the Roman Telescope's future missions.
