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.
