  There are no planets in these images, though there may be asteroids. It is a pair of distant galaxies.

  No - two galaxies. Looks like a cluster!

  Nope! That is a very distant galaxy (or pair of galaxies). Thanks for classifying!

  Nope, That is two far away galaxies. Probably interacting !

  How can I tell the difference between a gravitational field of light bending around an object and the light coming from the object itself?

  there are some examples in the Spotter's Guide http://spacewarps.org/#/guide the lensed light forms characteristic shapes.

  this is a particularly hard image as the simulated lensed images are very hard to find. I'll makr this as a #poorsim that we may remove
