I did not want to raise the issue of gravitational lensing until the OP "got it". Now that that has happened,

Yes, I'm glad you did wait! Great pictures too.

Very nicely illustrated D H. I wonder why there are exactly 4 images of the distant quasar? Are there always 4?

Yeah, that's a good question. And are the non-blobs of light possibly partial images of the distant quasar?
Yesterday upon the stair, I met a man who wasn't there.
He wasn't there again today, I wish I wish he'd go away.
