← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when intense gravitational fields surround stars?
A)Light direction changes due to spacetime curvature✓
B)Increased star surface temperature via conduction
C)Neutrino emissions overcome particle acceleration
D)Magnetic field lines become permanently aligned
💡 Explanation
Gravitational lensing occurs because spacetime curvature around massive celestial objects significantly bends the path of photons, altering the direction of light; therefore, the observed location of distant objects changes, rather than other thermal or magnetic effects dominating.
