Albert Einstein placed a formidable imprint on astronomy. Not since the time of Isaac Newton, three centuries ago, has a single individual so influenced the field. Many of the great astronomical findings of the 20th century--the expanding universe, compact stars, origin of the Sun’s power, black holes, gravitational lensing, dark energy, gravity waves--are rooted in the physics that Einstein so brilliantly deduced. This illustrated presentation, the Gemant Award Lecture sponsored by the American Institute of Physics, will provide a guided tour through the cosmos and explain how our understanding of the universe was transformed by Einstein’s theories of special and general relativity.
