   This dramatic result — close to the prediction of general relativity, and significantly different than what would be expected from just Newtonian gravity and the Equivalence Principle — was a major triumph for Einstein's theory.

   And it drew the attention of the public, as well. When the results were reported at a joint meeting of the Royal Society and Royal Astronomical Society that November, it generated sensational headlines. "Lights All Askew in the Heavens," read the NYT.
