This article proposes a comprehensive analysis of light propagation in an anisotropic and spatially homogeneous Bianchi I universe. After recalling that null geodesics are easily determined in such a spacetime, we derive the expressions of the redshift and direction drifts of light sources; by solving analytically the Sachs equation, we then obtain an explicit expression of the Jacobi matrix describing the propagation of narrow light beams. As a byproduct, we recover the old formula by Saunders for the angular diameter distance in a Bianchi I spacetime, but our derivation goes further since it also provides the optical shear and rotation. These results pave the way to the analysis of both supernovae data and weak lensing by the large-scale structure in Bianchi universes.

Tetrad formalism for exact cosmological observables
The paper derives exact, coordinate-independent equations for cosmological observables on a new 'observer space-time' manifold, using tetrads to track the observer frame.

Axial Bianchi IX meets Gaia data
In axial Bianchi IX universes with dust and a cosmological constant, the linearized cosmic drift equals that of axial Bianchi I, so curvature drops out of the drift at first order.

Multipolar structure of the local expansion rate from incomplete sky data
CF4 data yield a 3.3σ excess dipole in the local expansion-rate fluctuation field at (l,b)=(290°,-4°)±5°, sourced mainly by z∈[0.03,0.05], with quadrupole/octupole consistent with ΛCDM and no multipole-vector alignments.

Gravitational Lensing in a Kasner Background: Distinguishing Wormholes and Black Holes
In a Kasner (anisotropic) universe, wormhole and black-hole lenses produce different directional splits of the Einstein-like scale, while the full critical curves remain nearly circular.
