The behavior of which objects are better explained by Einstein’s general theory of relativity than Newton’s universal law of gravitation?

Einstein’s general theory of relativity gives a more accurate description than Newton’s law when gravity is strong or motion is very fast. Objects moving near the speed of light require this relativistic treatment. Newton’s law is generally very accurate for everyday speeds and distances, so “objects that accelerate” alone does not make it the better choice.
