👉 Parenesis is a concept in physics and astronomy that refers to the phenomenon of a star's light being bent or distorted by its own gravity. This effect can be observed through telescopes, where stars are illuminated by their own light, and as such, they appear slightly yellowish due to the bending of light caused by the gravitational pull of other objects in space. The term "parenesis" comes from the Greek word "parēn", which means "to bend or distort".
