Example:Gravitational lensing is a key technique used in astronomy to observe distant objects that would otherwise be too faint.

Definition:The bending and magnification of light by the gravitational field of a massive object.

Example:Astrologists use astrometric lensing to infer the presence of exoplanets by observing the subtle gravitational effects on a star's light.

Definition:A method of observing the effects of gravity on the apparent positions and brightnesses of distant stars, which allows for the detection of exoplanets.
