According to Einstein's theory of general relativity, the sun's gravity causes starlight to bend, shifting the apparent position of stars in the sky.

Hi Astro Junkie,

You are right, according to the Theory of Relativity, gravity causes light from stars to bend thus altering their apparent position in the sky.

But i don't understand what your question is, or is there?
