Which mechanism causes image distortion near massive galaxies?

💡 Explanation

Gravitational lensing bends light via spacetime curvature, acting like a lens and distorting the images of objects behind the galaxy. Therefore the images warp because light trajectories are altered, rather than because of intrinsic properties of the light itself.
