Massive structures, such as galaxies, act as strong gravitational lenses on background sources. When the background source is a quasar, several lensed images are seen, as magnified or de-magnified versions of the same object. The detailed study of the image configuration and the measurement of “time-delays” between the images yield estimates of the Hubble parameter H0. We describe in a simple way the phenomenon of strong lensing and review recent progress made in the field, including microlensing by stars in the main lensing galaxy.
