The reader is guided through many fascinating topics related to gravitational lensing like the structure of our galaxy, the searching for exoplanets, the investigation of dark matter in galaxies and galaxy clusters, and several aspects of cosmology, including dark energy and the cosmic microwave background.
The author, who has gained valuable experience as academic teacher, guides the readers towards the comprehension of the theory of gravitational lensing and related observational techniques by using simple codes written in python. This approach, beyond facilitating the understanding of gravitational lensing, is preparatory for learning the python programming language which is gaining large popularity both in academia and in the private sector.

Massimo Meneghetti è ricercatore presso l'INAF – Osservatorio di Astrofisica e Scienza dello Spazio di Bologna. Ha conseguito il dottorato in Astronomia all'Università di Padova e ha lavorato presso l'Istituto di Astrofisica Teorica dell'Università di Heidelberg (Germania) e il Jet Propulsion Laboratory della NASA a Pasadena (USA). La sua ricerca si concentra sulla cosmologia e sulla formazione delle strutture galattiche, con l'obiettivo di comprendere la natura della materia oscura e dell'energia oscura, i principali costituenti dell'Universo. Su questi temi ha pubblicato oltre 300 articoli scientifici. Meneghetti ha ricoperto ruoli di rilievo in numerosi progetti internazionali che sfruttano il lensing gravitazionale per studiare la distribuzione della materia nelle strutture cosmiche, come galassie e ammassi, e per esplorare l’Universo remoto. Per oltre dieci anni ha insegnato Lensing Gravitazionale nel programma del corso di Laurea magistrale di Astrofisica e Cosmologia dell’Università di Bologna.
