Arthur S. Eddington, a prominent British astronomer and physicist of the 20ᵗʰ century. He is best known for his observational confirmation of Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity. In 1919, during a solar eclipse, Eddington led an expedition that observed the bending of starlight around the Sun, providing empirical evidence supporting Einstein's theory that massive objects cause a distortion in space-time.
阿瑟-爱丁顿（Arthur S. Eddington），20ᵗʰ世纪英国著名天文学家和物理学家。他最著名的成就是通过观测证实了爱因斯坦的广义相对论。1919 年，在一次日食中，爱丁顿率领一支考察队观测到星光绕太阳弯曲的现象，为爱因斯坦关于大质量天体会导致时空扭曲的理论提供了实证支持。Eddington was also the first to propose that stars obtain their energy from nuclear fusion processes, a groundbreaking concept at the time. This insight laid the foundation for all subsequent theories about how stars generate energy and evolve over time.
爱丁顿也是第一个提出恒星的能量来自核聚变过程的人，这在当时是一个开创性的概念。这一见解为后来所有关于恒星如何产生能量并随时间演变的理论奠定了基础。
