The correct statements about the arcs of light seen around a galaxy when viewed through a telescope are:
1. **the phenomenon is called gravitational lensing**
2. **it is a way to observe dark matter**
Gravitational lensing occurs when a massive object, like a galaxy, bends the light from objects behind it, creating arcs or distortions. This phenomenon also provides insights into the presence of dark matter in the universe.
