   Bullshit. Neither Le Verrier nor Newcomb OBSERVED any physical deflection of   
   starlight passing   
   by the Sun. They both made extensive calculations using perturbations of the   
   major planets   
   by computing orbits with up to 7 degrees polynomials that linearized orbits   
   following   
   Gauss' donut rings. It has been impossible, even as of today, to contemplate   
   ALL the perturbations   
   even using massive supercomputers.   
      
   Give up with your Einstein's worship!.   
   Gravitational starlight deflection is a myth (mathemagics). Not proven   
   experimentally   
   even when the ((community)) tried hard for a century.
