Among the special objectives of the Naval Observatory party will be observations of Lhe so-called Einstein effect. When the sun Is covered the stars will appear in the sky. Presumably the light from a distant star, passing close to the sun, is bent toward that body. If this is the case, and it seems to have been pretty well established by past expeditions, the implications are tremendous. Observation of the phenomenon requires such exact measurements that the astronomers are not entirely satisfied. The effect will be photographed by the 65ft camera and the plates studied.
