Curved Spacetime and the Path of Light

Description
Curved Spacetime and the Path of Light
The warping of space by matter causes light to be deflected. This
was the first prediction of general relativity to be confirmed, in
1919. This confirmation came when stars behind the Sun
were observed during an eclipse. The star in this drawing was
not observed where it was supposed to be, as a result of the
Sun’s gravity changing the path of its light.
