Einstein and Eddington. German-born physicist Albert Einstei
n (1879-1955), at left, was famous for his theories of relat
ivity. British astrophysicist Sir Arthur Eddington (1882-194
4), at right, pioneered the study of internal stellar struct
ure. In 1919 Eddington led an expedition to observe stars ne
ar the sun during a solar eclipse. The results were hailed a
s confirmation of Einstein’s 1915 theory of General Relativi
ty, which predicted that light passing close to a large mass
(like the Sun) bends twice as far as predicted by Newton’s
theory of gravity. Photographed at the University of Cambrid

Einstein and Eddington. German-born physicist Albert Einstein (1879-1955), at left, was famous for his theories of relativity. British astrophysicist Sir Arthur Eddington (1882-1944), at right, pioneered the study of internal stellar structure. In 1919 Eddington led an expedition to observe stars near the sun during a solar eclipse. The results were hailed as confirmation of Einstein’s 1915 theory of General Relativity, which predicted that light passing close to a large mass (like the Sun) bends twice as far as predicted by Newton’s theory of gravity.
