 | | Sir Arthur Stanley Eddington, OM (December 28, 1882 – November 22, 1944) was an astrophysicist of the early 20th century. |
 | | Eddington's observations confirmed Einstein's theory, and were hailed at the time as a conclusive proof of general relativity over the Newtonian model; the news was reported in newspapers all over the world as a major story. |
 | | In 1920, Eddington, on the basis of the precise measurements of atomic weights by F. Aston, was the first to suggest that stars obtained their energy from nuclear fusion of hydrogen to helium. |
