Imagine you're holding a flashlight near the edge of a super strong black hole. The light from your flashlight gets stretched and bent, like a rubber band being pulled, this is black hole light warping! It’s so powerful that it can make distant stars look squished or doubled.

- The Sun’s gravity slightly bends light from distant stars, just like a funhouse mirror.
