Proving Einstein Right

The Daring Expeditions that Changed How We Look at the Universe

Cathie Pelletier , S James Gates Jr
In a 1911 paper Einstein predicted that starlight would be deflected by the gravitational pull of the sun and that this could be proved by observation of a solar eclipse. Doing so proved difficult for astronomers, and this scientific history tells the tales of several expeditions thwarted by inhospitable locations, extreme weather and the outbreak of the First World War before the successful observations of 1919.
