During the total solar eclipse in 1919, Arthur Eddington and collaborators performed the first direct observation of light deflection from the Sun, thereby validating Einstein's theory of general ...

An ultra-massive black hole has been uncovered using gravitational light bending, something theorized by Albert Einstein in his General Theory of Relativity. A team of astronomers have used a bent ...

For the first time, astronomers have seen a star outside of the solar system bend the light from another star. The measurement, reported June 7 in Austin, Texas, at a meeting of the American ...

Astronomers have used the sharp vision of NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope to repeat a century-old test of Einstein’s general theory of relativity. The team measured the mass of white dwarf Stein 2051 B, ...

Project Solaris is to harness space based solar. It will use a distributed system composed of a multitude of small light deflecting units (cm-sized to µm-sized). These units will be uniformly ...

FROM an experimental point of view, Einstein's general theory of relativity is at present in an ambiguous position. It is well known that there are three conceivable tests between its conclusions and ...
