Does light bend when it passes a massive star?

Yes

Explanation:

This is one of the coolest things ever. Gravity can bend light, which makes sense if you consider that gravity can actually stop light like in a black hole. A good example of this is the gravity lens effect when a black hole is between the observer and another object.

This is a simulation of what that looks like.
