In observational astronomy, an Einstein ring happens when two galaxies are aligned perfectly. It is the deformation of light from a star or galaxy into a ring that is caused by gravity bending the light from another galaxy.

An Einstein ring is light deforming into a ring through gravitational lensing of the source's light by an object with an extremely large mass (a galaxy, or a black hole). This occurs when the source, lens and observer are all aligned.

The first complete Einstein ring, designated B1938+666, was discovered by the Hubble Space Telescope in 1998.
