Because spacetime curves around a massive body, light bends when it's near enough a massive object, allowing us to see very distant galaxies behind the cluster we're looking at.
Here is some recommended reading on it if you wanna learn more:
me: majored in aerospace engineering to hopefully design rovers that go to other planets to perform little science experiments and find rocks
my classmates: i want to create missiles and advanced war weaponry for the military
me:
Perfect magnets
