Collage of Galactic Rings Claimed to be Distortions

Most galactic rings are dismissed as an illusion, a result of a suspicious mechanism called a gravitational lens. This lens has a source of gravity claimed to bend the light of a more distant object to appear as a distortion like an arc or circle.

Instead of trying to collect these images into a facebook post I put them in a separate web page. This also avoids posted images in facebook that slow the scrolling through posts.

I find these images very interesting; perhaps others will also. You just have to click once to get there. The page with this link has links to the descriptions and to just the images. The images are zoomable to reveal more than I mention if someone is curious.
