Whenever any object of massive size finds a way to distort the very fabric of space time, this is referred to as gravitational lensing. Basically, this is a distribution of matter, in this case possibly a cluster of galaxies, that sit between the person who is looking and a light source. The cluster of galaxies between the light source and the observer would be capable of bending the light as it were travelling to the person looking on.
