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.
