Einstein’s theory of relativity shows us that time isn’t constant,it stretches or contracts based on speed and gravity. But ...

An international team of physicists discovered the largest-ever merger of 2 black holes through a phenomenon known as gravitational waves.

A colossal cluster of galaxies is bending the very fabric of space—and it’s the focus of this week’s breathtaking image from ...

With the release of its first images this month, the Vera C. Rubin Observatory has begun a 10-year mission to help unravel ...

Light travels through space in a straight line—unless it gets close to something massive. Gravity bends light's path, which distorts the way we see it.

Gravity bends light’s path, which distorts the way we see it. This gravitational lensing effect provides clues that could help astronomers locate dark matter.

On May 29, 1919, a total solar eclipse helped to prove Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity. Einstein's theory suggested that gravity could bend light by curving the fabric of spacetime ...

According to Einstein’s theory of general relativity, gravity bends the fabric of space-time, causing the light from far-off objects to bend around the massive lensing object.

Because the large object’s gravity bends the light, it creates gravitational lensing. This creates a ring-life effect, making the galaxy’s light appear as a nearly perfect ring.

Media Art Xploration’s “When Light Bends” mixes history, science, magic and personal drama to prepare us for the April 8 solar eclipse, March 22-24 at the Highland Center for the Arts in Greensboro.
