- TL;DR Summary
- Does the mass of a star have any effect on it’s apparent size, due to gravitational deflection (or lensing)?
Using the Sun as example, we know from the Eddington experiment that the Sun deflects light.
Does light from other stars get deflected towards or away from the centre of mass, or is it a mix?
Does light coming from the Sun get deflected towards or away from the centre of mass?
Would this make an object appear smaller, larger or the same size?
