---English Version---
The first clear sign of a gravitational lens in a binary star was discovered by Ethan Kruse and Eric Agol of the University of Washington in Seattle, in about 2600 light years from Earth in the constellation of the lyre. The binary system is formed by a white dwarf with a mass of 60 percent of the sun and a volume not much larger than the earth, and a companion star to the sun, the orbital period is about 88 days.
