šŸ’” The Answer

  • Massive objects warp spacetime, causing light to travel along curved paths.
  • This gravitational lensing can magnify and distort distant galaxies.
  • Einstein's theory predicted this, confirmed during a 1919 solar eclipse.
  • Gravitational lensing helps astronomers study dark matter and exoplanets.
