Make your own theory
Before you peek, what do you think the clues show?
Write or discuss an explanation in your own words. Then compare it with the sourced case note below. This preview doesn’t save responses.
What a careful answer can say: The source summary reports that the 1919 expeditions found a star-position shift matching the prediction. A careful claim links that observation to the prediction without overstating what one summary alone proves.
What the evidence cannot settle: This short source check does not reproduce the original photographs, measurements, or all later debate. The two documentary quotations in the Realm stay unused pending Susan’s decision.
