Which consequence results when localized mass increases near an imaging telescope?

💡 Explanation

Increased mass curves spacetime according to general relativity. Gravitational lensing occurs because light follows curved paths; therefore, image distortion occurs, rather than, increased clarity that the telescope is designed for, and not variations of thermal management.
