Which consequence results when gravity stresses adaptive optics?

💡 Explanation

Gravitational bending causes *spacetime curvature*, deforming the telescope optics. This introduces wavefront errors because of the changed refractive index across the lens, therefore, spherical aberration is introduced, rather than atmospheric compensation or increased signal.
