The greater the mass of the foreground cluster of galaxies, the more warped the images of the distant galaxies are when they undergo gravitational lensing.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The greater the mass of the foreground galaxy cluster, the stronger its gravitational field, which distorts the space around it more significantly. This increased distortion leads to more pronounced warping of the images of distant galaxies as their light passes through this curved space, a phenomenon predicted by Einstein's theory of general relativity.
