Which mechanism causes perceived trajectory changes near extremely massive objects?

💡 Explanation

Spacetime curvature bends light rays, so the path observed differs from a straight line because gravity warps spacetime due to mass-energy equivalence. Therefore, the observed trajectory changes, rather than being Doppler shifted or lensed because those are distinct effects dependent on relative motion respectively.
