← ScienceWhich consequence results when intense gravitational fields distort telescope optics?
A)Light intensity shifts reduce resolution
B)Aberrations appear from spacetime curvature✓
C)Mirrors experience thermal fatigue cycles
D)Quantum entanglement detection probability worsens
💡 Explanation
Aberrations arise because spacetime curvature near supermassive objects or black holes causes photons to travel along curved paths. Therefore, the image is gravitationally lensed altering point spread function, rather than effects inside the mirrors.
