This composite image, which combines data from Webb’s Near-InfraRed Camera (NIRCam), Hubble’s Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) and the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) instruments, shows an Einstein ring around an elliptical galaxy in the galaxy cluster SMACSJ0028.2-7537.

Light from an extremely distant spiral galaxy was bent and magnified by the gravity of a member of the galaxy cluster SMACSJ0028.2-7537 into a ring-like structure, called an Einstein ring.
