If the light from a distance galaxy passes near a massive cosmic object, then the gravity of that object will distort space-time. That will cause the light to bend.

Why do the roots of plants bend away from sun light?
why roots of plant grow away from light
How is the role of auxin in the bending of stems toward light?
Auxins move from their source into the rest of the plant, where they stimulate cell elongation. A higher concentration of auxins accumulate in the shaded part of a stem and causes the plant to move towards the light.
What thing in this universe can bend the light?
According to Einestein's theory of general relativity, any massive body that causes an appreciable distortion in its surrounding space-time can bend light (e.g. large stars, black holes, etc.). Light that enters the event horizon of black holes are bent so much that it can never leave the black hole.
The larger the index of refraction the light will bend as it enters?
more the incoming light will be refracted (bend) in the material.
Does a light ray bend if it enters a glass block perpendicularly?
No, a light ray does not bend if it enters a glass block perpendicularly.
What can bend light?
change of medium causes light to bend
What is the property of light that causes it to bend?
refraction
What light behavior causes light to bend through water?

Why do the roots of plants bend away from sun light?

When light rays enter a new medium at an angle what does the change in speed cause the ray to do?
The change in speed causes the light to bend. If it is travelling from an optically dencer to an optically rarer medium the ray will bend away from the normal. But if it is travelling from an optically rarer to an optically denser medium then it will bend towards the normal.
Contraction of the ciliary muscle causes the lens to bend the light less?
false
If you shine a laser pointer into an ice cube properties will cause the laser light to bend as it enters the ice cube?
refraction causes it to bend
What causes a stem to bend towards light?
this is called a tropism, where the growth of a plant in a particular stimulus, (light in this case). A chemical called auxin causes the elongation of cells. When a shoot is illuminated from one side, auxin is transported down the shaded side. This shaded side then elongates more rapidly than the illuminated side, causing the shoot to bend towards the light. Also the stimulus(light) must be detected by the tip of the plant shoot or root.
What happens to a ray of light that slows down when it hits a new medium at an angle?
The change in speed causes the light to bend. If it is travelling from an optically dencer to an optically rarer medium the ray will bend away from the normal. But if it is travelling from an optically rarer to an optically denser medium then it will bend towards the normal.
What causes light traveling in a straight line to bend?
Gravity. (Or the shape of space - which is molded by gravity.)
What happens when light goes from water to air?
light rays bend away from normal as it passes from denser water to rarer air
What causes light rays to refract?
light travels in straight path and when speed of medium in which light travels change then it refract due to change in speed light rays bend and refract
