The European Space Agency has launched two atomic clocks on a SpaceX rocket to the ISS to test Einstein's theory of ...

One of the first verified predictions of general relativity is the gravitational deflection of starlight. The effect was first observed in 1919 during a total solar eclipse. Since stars appear as ...

Einstein postulated three ways this theory could be proved. One was by observing the stars during a total solar eclipse. The sun is our closest strong gravitational field. Light traveling from a ...

But Einstein suggested three ways it could be proven. One was to make observations of starlight during a solar eclipse. Conveniently, a solar eclipse occurred in 1919 and astronomers made the ...

Professor C.A. Chant of the chair of astronomy of the University of Toronto who conducted observations of the eclipse of the sun ... bear out the prediction of Einstein, Prof.

Einstein had theorized that a solar eclipse offered a rare opportunity to observe gravity’s effect on light. As the daytime sky darkened, stars would become visible, and if indeed the sun’s ...
