<prompt> Hlalosa mohopolo oa gravitational lensing.nan  <response>: Instruction in English: Explain the concept of gravitational lensing. . Response in English: Gravitational lensing is a phenomenon that occurs when light from a distant object passes by an object with a strong gravitational field, such as a galaxy or a black hole, on its way to an observer. The gravity of the intervening object bends the light rays, causing them to take a curved path. This bending of light is like what happens when light passes through a lens, hence the term gravitational lensing. The amount of bending depends on the mass of the object and the distance between the object and the light path. This phenomenon was first predicted by Einsteins theory of general relativity and has been observed many times. Gravitational lensing can result in multiple images of the same object, magnified images or distorted images.Astronomers use gravitational lensing to study objects that are otherwise too distant or faint to be observed directly. It can also be used to map the distribution of mass in galaxy clusters and to probe the nature of dark matter. In addition, gravitational lensing has helped to confirm theories about the large-scale structure of the universe. . Response in Sesotho: Gravitational lensing ke ketsahalo e etsahalang ha khanya e tsoang nthong e hole e feta ho ntho e nang le matla a khoheli a matla, joalo ka sehlopha sa linaleli kapa lesoba le letšo, ha e le tseleng e eang ho moshebelli. Matla a khoheli a ntho e kenellang e koba mahlaseli a khanya, a etsa hore a nke tsela e kobehileng. Ho kobeha hona ha leseli ho tšoana le se etsahalang ha leseli le feta lense, ke ka hona lentsoe gravitational lensing. Palo ea ho koba e itšetlehile ka boima ba ntho le sebaka se pakeng tsa ntho le tsela e khanyang. Ketsahalo ena e ile ea boleloa pele ke khopolo ea Einstein ea kamano e akaretsang me e nile ea hlokomeloa ka makhetlo a mangata. Gravitational lensing e ka fella ka litšoantšo tse ngata tsa ntho e le ngoe, litšoantšo tse holisitsoeng kapa litšoantšo tse sothehileng. Litsebi tsa linaleli li sebelisa lense ea khoheli ho ithuta lintho tse hole haholo kapa tse fokolang haholo hore li ka bonoa ka ho toba. E ka boela ea sebelisoa ho etsa mapa oa ho ajoa ha boima ka lihlopha tsa linaleli le ho batlisisa sebopeho sa ntho e lefifi. Ho phaella moo, lense ea matla a khoheli e thusitse ho tiisa likhopolo tse mabapi le sebōpeho se seholo sa bokahohle.
