I&amp;#x27;m looking forward to seeing the results of unscrambling the ring to see what the galaxy behind looks like. Hopefully someday we will be able to use a solar gravitation lens to look at neighboring exoplanets: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQFqDKRAROI https://arxiv.org/abs/1802.08421&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/1802.08421/"&gt;Paper and discussion history&lt;/a&gt;.
