History Daily · Astronomers Prove Einstein’s Theory of General Relativity · 21 Sep 2026 podcast

It's May twenty ninth, nineteen nineteen in Principe, a remote West African island. matched

Arthur Eddington leans out of an open window, cautiously peering up at the overcast sky. matched

As a few stray droplets of rain trickle down the astronomer's cheek, he mutters grimly, hoping that the poor weather won't hamper the experiment he spent months preparing for. matched

Arthur is leading a British expedition to test a theory proposed by budding theoretical physicist Albert Einstein. matched

According to Einstein, gravity, instead of being an invisible force that attracts objects to one another, is actually the curving or warping of space itself. matched

For now, this is just a theory. matched

But Arthur traveled across the world determined to prove its veracity. matched

A total solar eclipse, where the moon passes exactly between the sun and earth, is slated to take place in Principe today, allowing Arthur to observe stars usually outshone by the sun. matched

If Einstein's theory is correct, then light from stars behind the sun will be bent by the sun's gravity, making them appear slightly displaced from their normal nighttime positions. matched

With the eclipse approaching, Arthur sharply pulls the window shut and crosses the room to his desk. matched

He rifles through the papers and half open books scattered upon it, taking the necessary documents and gathering the last of his measuring tools before stepping outside to prepare for the experiment. matched

As the door slams behind him, a strong gust of wind stings Arthur's face. matched

Looking up, he carefully surveys the clouds with a growing unease. matched

As other members of the expedition join him and set up their many devices and cameras, they all wear the same nervous expression as they share their concerns. matched

If they can't see the stars today, their experiment is doomed, and they'll never be able to repeat it, at least not on Principe. matched

The island was carefully chosen because a cluster of stars is conveniently positioned near the sun here. matched

But after this, a total eclipse will not take place on this island for nearly 400 more years. matched

Arthur glances down at his watch and checks how much more time they have. matched
