→Bending of Light in a Gravitational Field: Spelling, grammar, and general cleanup, typos fixed: was was → was
Relying on the usual assumptions—Newtonian mechanics, Galilean relativity, conservation of energy and momentum, the universality of the speed of light (that is, special relativity), the Equivalence Principle, and the geodesic equation in empty space (that is, general relativity), and the proper calibration of the instruments, observations of later eclipses, and the observations of quasar 3C273, confirm predictions of the theory, which is that the bending is 1.75 arc seconds.

No [[Nobel Prize]] was was awarded for this. A few years later Einstein won the Nobel Prize for the (unrelated) [[Photoelectric effect]].
