At that distance, even its home star is invisible, so astronomers resorted to a sort of cosmic optical illusion, first proposed by Einstein in the 1930s, to detect it. Einstein pointed out that since massive objects bend light rays, a star could act as a sort of lens, focusing and magnifying the light of a more distant star passing behind it. In his original...
