WHAT IS GRAVITATIONAL LENSING???

This means that light rays coming towards us from distant galaxies will pass through the gravitational field of dark matter and hence will be bent by the lensing effect. Dark matter is found wherever 'normal' matter, such as the stuff that makes up galaxies, is found.

As we know Gravity effect the path of light to change 

That's why we cant determined the actual position of the stars as understand by Einstein's  general relativity theory 

Gravity change the path of light But where the massive objects served as the lens for anything like the galaxies and stars 

Our universe exists in these type of lensing by these gravitational distortions 

In real space and time can be curved 

light follows this curvature and this way gravity bents the path of light 

This phenomenon when this massive objects served as a big lens and shows us more than one images of any celestial body is called gravitational lensing
