  • Light traveling through warped space-time travels along curved paths. This effect is called gravitational lensing. Gravitational lensing, predicted by Einstein's theory, happens when a massive object bends light passing near it, creating optical effects. Strong lensing occurs with near-perfect alignment, distorting background light into multiple images or rings, like Einstein rings. Weak lensing involves subtle distortions, analyzed statistically to reveal foreground mass concentrations. Astronomers use gravitational lensing to study dark matter distribution, probe lensing objects' properties, and discover faint distant galaxies and clusters.
