Abstract

Finding four for the light of one Seeing double may cause concern for some, but seeing quadruple? It's just what astronomers have been hoping for. Kelly et al. have now detected four images of the same distant supernova with the sharp eye of a space telescope. The supernova shines brightly from the arm of a spiral galaxy that lies far beyond another galaxy between it and us. This intervening galaxy is massive enough to bend the light from the supernova and its host galaxy into multiple images. This behavior relies on the curvature of spacetime and will provide insight into the luminous and dark matter in the lensing galaxy. Science , this issue p. 1123
