Unlike most of the important discoveries reported in astronomy, the physics of gravitational lenses was understood well before their existence was proven. In 1936, Albert Einstein published the results of some calculations concerning the lens effects caused by the gravitational field of a star — the lens — on the light emitted by another star — the source — located far away behind.
