Obverse
Description:
A rising circular wave on the coin's obverse depicts an Einstein ring—a multiplied image of the light source at left. A central galaxy cluster, simplified, gravitationally deflects the light between source and observer. The German term for 'gravitational lens' and the light deflection formula Δ∅=4GM/bc² complete the design.
