and utilized within an economy and serve as a supplementary indicator to GDP.<\/li>\n<li>GDKP evaluates a nation\u2019s growth and future using\u00a0four fundamental pillars:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul

gravitational lensing, where a massive celestial object bends and magnifies light from a more distant object behind it.<\/li>\n<li>Gravitational lensing\u00a0is an example of Einstein\u2019s theory of general relativity.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lensing Effect:<\/strong>\u00a0 If the alignment between the observer, the foreground lens, and the background source is nearly perfect, the light from the background galaxy can be smeared into a ring.<\/li>\n<li>In the recently observed Einstein ring, the galaxy\u00a0<strong>NGC 6505\u00a0<\/strong>acted as the gravitational lens.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4

influence.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Understanding Distant Galaxies:<\/strong>\u00a0These rings help scientists study galaxies that would otherwise be too faint or distant to observe.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Insights into Cosmic Expansion:<\/strong>\u00a0The bending of light provides crucial data about the expansion of the universe, as the space between celestial bodies is
