Is the light bending around some gravitational point, or is that an* artifact of the telescope itself?
If the former, that is astounding.
Edit: nvm I think I figured it out myself. There are objects next to smeared galaxies that are not distorted. The distorted objects must be behind the gravitational field, and the un-distorted objects in front.
