💫 Black holes are so powerful they can literally bend light around themselves.

This effect, called gravitational lensing, happens because a black hole's gravity warps space-time enough to curve the path of light passing near it 🔆 Sometimes this creates a glowing ring effect called an "Einstein ring," visible in telescope images of distant black holes.
