Dead star warping light of red star. Computer illustration showing an ultra-dense dead star,known as a white dwarf,passing in front of a small red star. As the white dwarf crosses in front,its gravity is so great that it bends and magnifies the light of the red star,similar to using a lens. NASA's Kepler space telescope detected this effect,called gravitational lensing,by measuring a strangely subtle dip in the star's brightness | |
