2013 Reprint of 1923 Edition. Exact facsimile of the original
edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. Sir
Arthur Stanley Eddington was a British astrophysicist of the early
20th century. He was also a philosopher of science and a
popularizer of science. The Eddington limit, the natural limit to
the luminosity of stars, or the radiation generated by accretion
onto a compact object, is named in his honor. He is also famous for
his work regarding the theory of relativity. He wrote a number of
articles which announced and explained Einstein's theory of general
relativity to the English-speaking world. World War I severed many
lines of scientific communication and new developments in German
science were not well known in England, and vice versa. He also
conducted an expedition to observe the Solar eclipse of 29 May 1919
that provided one of the earliest confirmations of relativity, and
he became known for his popular expositions and interpretations of
the theory.
