Artist's Description
1919 solar eclipse. This is a negative from a set of images, taken by the British astronomer Arthur Eddington (1882-1944), that confirmed Einstein's theory of general relativity. The stars near the Sun (marked here by horizontal lines) appeared to be slightly shifted because their light was curved by its gravitational field. This shift is only noticeable during a solar eclipse as at other times the Sun's brightness obscures the stars. This is a total solar eclipse, when the Moon fits over the Sun so only its corona (atmosphere) is visible. Image taken form Principe Island, Gulf of Guinea, on 29 May 1919. For a sequence of the eclipse see R506/416-R506/418.
