Einstein predicted that whenever light from a distant star passes by a closer object, gravity acts as a kind of magnifying lens, brightening and bending the distant starlight. This has been confirmed in a 2017 study believed to be the first report of a particular type of Einstein's "gravitational microlensing" by a star other than the sun
