Eddington (Arthur Stanley Eddington)

Arthur Stanley Eddington was a renowned British astrophysicist and mathematician who made significant contributions to our understanding of stars and gravity. He is best known for providing observational evidence for Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity by demonstrating that gravity bends light from distant stars during a solar eclipse. Eddington also developed theories about how stars generate energy through nuclear fusion, shaping modern stellar physics. His work helped establish the foundation for how we understand the structure and evolution of stars and the universe itself.
