i was thinking about how objects bend light and i realised theres something i dont quite get. and its easiest to ask in relation to 1919 experiment.
when arthur was looking at the star behing the sun, he would observe the star in a slightly different place to what it should be.
so lets say if that star is directly EXACTLY center of behind the sun, how is it determined which way the light bends to say which way direction it appears to be?
btw. try to keep it in laymans language
