Celestial Buddies

Einstein's Telescope

Astronomers have long known that the Universe is expanding, but everything they could see indicated that gravity should be slowing this spread.

Based on Einstein's theory of general relativity, gravitational lensing, or "Einstein's Telescope," is enabling new discoveries that are taking us toward the next revolution in scientific thinking -- one that may change forever our notions of where the Universe came from and where it is going.
