The ESA mission, in which the University of Bologna participates, has discovered that the galaxy NGC 6505 acts as a gravitational lens, diverting light from another far more distant galaxy: the result is a distorted image of the latter. This phenomenon, known as gravitational lensing, allows the study of invisible dark matter through its influence on the slightly deformed images of billions of galaxies
