What an idiotic idea!  :-D

A star or quasar is radiating light in all direction.
So if, relative to us, the star or quasar is behind a large
galaxy, light that is passing close by the galaxy may be
gravitational deflected so that the light is bent towards us.
If the star or quasar is exactly on a straight line behind
the gravitating galaxy, light passing on different sides
may be bent towards us, so we see multiple images or even
a ring.

Make my day. Keep denying facts.

You're so lame brain that you didn't address the issue which is whether
it is refraction or gravity. Duh!
