Eclipse: How the 1919 Solar Eclipse Proved Einstein’s Theory of General Relativity
by Darcy Pattison (Author), Peter Willis (Illustrator)
How do you prove an impossible idea?
With courage, perseverance, and a lot of luck!
In 1915, British astronomer Arthur Stanley Eddington was fascinated with Einstein’s new theory of general relativity. The theory talks about how forces push and pull objects in space. Einstein said that the sun’s gravity could pull and bend light. It seemed like a crazy idea. Could his theory be proven?
