Teori Einstein memiliki implikasi astrofisika yang penting. Teori ini memprediksikan adanya keberadaan daerah lubang hitam yang mana ruang dan waktu terdistorsi sedemikiannya tiada satu pun, bahkan cahaya pun, yang dapat lolos darinya.
Terdapat bukti bahwa lubang hitam bintang dan jenis-jenis lubang hitam lainnya yang lebih besar bertanggungjawab terhadap radiasi kuat yang dipancarkan oleh objek-objek astronomi tertentu, seperti inti galaksi aktif dan miktrokuasar.
Melengkungnya cahaya oleh gravitasi dapat menyebabkan fenomena pelensaan gravitasi. Relativitas umum juga memprediksikan keberadaan gelombang gravitasi. Keberadaan gelombang ini telah diukur secara tidak langsung, dan terdapat pula beberapa usaha yang dilakukan untuk mengukurnya secara langsung.
Selain itu, relativitas umum adalah dasar dari model kosmologis untuk alam semesta yang terus berkembang.
