[00:00:00]Do you know that objects can bend light and act like natural lenses in space?

[00:00:04]It sounds unreal, but it has been observed.

[00:00:07]According to the theory of relativity by Albert Einstein, massive objects can bend space-time.

[00:00:14]And because light follows space-time, its path gets bent, too.

[00:00:18]This effect is called gravitational lensing.

[00:00:21]Scientists have directly observed this using space telescopes.

[00:00:25]For example, images from NASA and the European Space Agency show distant galaxies appearing stretched, curved, or even duplicated.

[00:00:34]This happens when light passes near a massive object, like a galaxy cluster.

[00:00:39]The gravity bends the light, acting like a giant cosmic lens.

[00:00:43]This effect has been measured and confirmed in many observations.

[00:00:48]Scientists even use it to study galaxies too far to see directly.

[00:00:53]So, space itself can bend light and let us see deeper into the universe.
