...Einstein announced that one consequence of his theory would be that light should be bent slightly when it passes through a strong gravitational field. The only practical way to observe this effect was to photograph stars beyond the sun during a solar eclipse. Since their light passes near the sun and through its powerful gravitation, it should be deflected a little, making the stars seem to shift their positions. The amount of the shift could be measured by photographing the same starfield months later, when the earth's travel around its orbit had placed the sun in a different...
