How does a Black Hole Bend Light? - This animation, re-created based on information and visualizations from NASA, demonstrates the concept of gravitational microlensing with a black hole. As the black hole passes nearly in front of a distant background star, the light rays from the star are bent due to the warped space-time surrounding the black hole. This creates a virtual magnifying effect, amplifying the brightness of the background star. Unlike when a star or planet acts as the lensing objec

A black hole bends light behind it. This is called Gravitational Lensing. | Cosmoknowledge
