About
Sir Arthur Stanley Eddington was born in Kendal, Westmorland, England. He was a British astronomer, physicist, and mathematician of the early 20th century who did his greatest work in astrophysics. He was also a philosopher of science and a popularizer of science. The Eddington limit, the natural limit to the luminosity of stars, or the radiation generated by accretion onto a compact object, is named in his honour. He is famous for his work regarding the theory of relativity. He also conducted an expedition to observe the Solar eclipse of 29 May 1919 that provided one of the earliest confirmations of relativity, and he became known for his popular expositions and interpretations of the theory. He graduated with a B.Sc. in physics with First Class Honours in 1902. After receiving his M.A. in 1905, he began research on thermionic emission in the Cavendish Laboratory.
