Dead Star Wraps Light Of Red Star  

NASA KEPLER MISSION 

This artist's animation depicts an ultra dense dead star, called a WHITE DWARF , passing in front of a red star. 

White Dwarf approaches the red star

it bends the light of the red star due to it's high gravity called gravitational lensing

final view of gravitational lensing

As the white dwarf  crosses in front, it's gravity is so great that it bends and magnifies the light of the red star.

NASA's planet hunting KEPLER space telescope was able to detect this effect
