EINSTEIN'S ECLIPSE

摘要

A HUNDRED YEARS AGO, Albert Einstein wasn't a household name. He was a professor in Berlin, known to scientists, intellectuals, his divorced wife and the first cousin who would soon become his second wife-but not to the world. His rise to superstardom began on May 29, 1919, when the moon and sun lined up just right for a solar eclipse. Photos of the astronomical event showed something strange: A few of the stars visible during the blackout were in the wrong place.
