  • Having thought about the 4-point pattern a bit more, it's apparently a genuine quadrupole lens effect. Basically, the galactic plane has an accretion ring and is close to most of the matter in the galaxy. Above and below the plane are apparently located two antimatter bubbles, and these it seems should be considered to have an effect that is opposite to normal gravitational lensing. A spiral bar can be considered to be in a range that is, or was, antimatter (or antigravitationally) dominated.

  • Just saw an article in an online magazine called "symmetry" that suggests looking through a wine glass to duplicate the cross pattern. Unfortunately I am out of wine glasses.

  • Nice, but the galaxy depiction does not look like Huchra's lens, which seems to me to have a necessary galactic bar in it.

    It almost looks to me as if the lens for the Einstein cross has four cycles of radial wave running along its perimeter, a sort of quadrupole effect to it. It's still a puzzle.

    I suppose others could see it and think it's a holographic pattern based on a tetrahedral space-filling matrix. A nifty idea, needs no galactic bar.
