Which distortion affects image resolution near massive astronomical objects?

💡 Explanation

Gravitational lensing occurs because massive objects warp spacetime; therefore, light paths bend, distorting images rather than simple atmospheric refraction alone, because spacetime curvature influences photons independent of medium.
