甚麼是重力透鏡現象 (Gravitational lensing) ?
廣義相對論的重力透鏡現象光線在經過星系和黑洞等重力場時,會出現如同經過透鏡般彎曲。此現象有助科學家量度星體距離、形狀,甚至幫助研究暗物質等。
If this were a lensing event, you'd expect the two localizations to sit more or less right on top of each other. They have similar shapes and appear in the same part of the sky, but they don't really overlap: pic.twitter.com/lqvigNhyBl
