	Arthur Stanley Eddington Summary
		In 1919 Eddington led the famous solar eclipse expedition to West Africa and proved, as Einstein's theory demanded, that starlight is deflected in passing close to a massive body such as the sun.
		Eddington was born in Kendal, England, son of Quaker parents.
		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.

	Arthur Eddington Biography
		Eddington also investigated the interior of stars, and calculated their temperature based on what would be necessary to withstand the pressure of the higher-laying layers.
		In 1920, Eddington, on the basis of the precise measurements of atoms by F. Aston, was the first to suggest that stars obtained their energy from nuclear fusion of hydrogen to helium.
		Eddington at one time thought the fine structure constant α, which had been measured at approximately 1/137, should be exactly 1/137, based on aesthetic and numerological arguments.

		In December 1912 George Darwin, son of Charles Darwin, died suddenly and Eddington was promoted to his chair as the Plumian Professor of Astronomy in early 1913.
		Later that year the holder of the theoretical Lowndean chair also died, and Eddington was named the director of the entire observatory the next year.
