MOMENTS IN SCIENCE COLLECTION This exciting series focuses on small moments in science that made a difference.
Back matter includes information on Einstein, Eddington, and the original photograph of the 1919 Solar eclipse.
In simple language, this nonfiction illustrated picture book explains how the push (acceleration) and pull (gravity) of space affects light.
Eddington and his team traveled from England to the island of Principe, just off the African coast, to photograph the eclipse.
If the star\'s position moved, then it was evidence that that light had bent.
The Eclipse would allow them to photograph the stars before and during the Solar eclipse.
To test this, astronomers decided to photograph a Solar eclipse.
Einstein said that the sun\'s gravity could pull and bend light.
The Theory talks about how forces push and pull objects in space.
