#12: Stars and Planets Appear in Daylight
During the eclipse of May 29, 1919, astronomers photographed stars near the darkened Sun from expeditions in Brazil and on the African island of Príncipe. Their measurements became famous for supporting Albert Einstein’s prediction that gravity could bend light. Most modern observers are not experimenting, but they may still see bright planets occupying a sky that should belong to afternoon. Venus is usually the easiest to notice, while Jupiter, Mars, or prominent stars may appear according to their positions on that date.
