This is the first image from e-Merlin , a powerful new array of radio telescopes linked across the UK, including Jodrell Bank The radio image is superimposed on an optical image from Hubble. It shows how the light from a quasar is bent around a galaxy in the foreground by the curvature of space. The quasar is a galaxy powered by a super-massive black hole ejecting jets of matter, one of which can be seen arcing to the left. The 'gravitational lens' produces multiple images of the same quasar – two can be seen here, one below the other, superimposed on the corresponding bright splurges of visible light seen by Hubble
