Légende
Gravitational lens in CL0024+1654. A gravitational lens occurs when light from a very distant, bright source (such as a quasar) is bent around a massive object (such as a galaxy) situated between the source object and the observer. The process is known as gravitational lensing, and was predicted by Einstein's theory of general relativity.
