News Finding: The discovery of the multiply-imaged lensed Type Ia supernova iPTF16geu
  
Paper Finding: The observations probe a physical scale of~1 kiloparsec, smaller than is typical in other studies of extragalactic gravitational lensing.
News Context: The discovery of the multiply-imaged lensed Type Ia supernova iPTF16geu
  
Paper Context: This phenomenon was identified because the light from the stellar explosion was magnified more than 50 times by the curvature of space around matter in an intervening galaxy. The observations probe a physical scale of~1 kiloparsec, smaller than is typical in other studies of extragalactic gravitational lensing. The large magnification and symmetric image configuration imply close alignment between the lines of sight to the supernova and to the lens.
