JWST discovers the farthest gravitational lens ever

In Einstein’s General Relativity, matter and energy bend spacetime. <img alt="" src="https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:700/0*AvcZjWD7zCHBk0en" style="height:700px; width:700px" /> An animated look at how spacetime responds as a mass moves through it helps showcase exactly how, qualitatively, it isn’t merely a sheet of fabric. Instead, all of 3D space itself gets curved by the presence and properties of the matter and energy within the Universe. Multiple masses in orbit around one another will cause the emission of gravitational waves, while any light passing through a region that contains this distorted spacetime will be bent, distorted, and possibly magnified by the effects of curved space. (<a href="https://1ucasvb.tumblr.com/post/142549026838/figured-id-add-a-mass-in-there-see-also" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Credit</a>: LucasVB) <a href="https://medium.com/starts-with-a-bang/jwst-discovers-the-farthest-gravitational-lens-ever-2124a9fc279e">Website</a>
