Comment on A dramatic Einstein ring seen by Webbparent

Yes the elliptical galaxy is the fuzzy blob in the middle; blended with the galaxy behind, it's difficult to see the diffuse outer parts of it. I'm not sure how much the apparent size of the spiral is affected by magnification, vs how much is just relative size difference. I guess it would be useful to know the distance between them.

Wow I get the distances aren’t shown, but still, the magnification is impressive.
