Sky survey detects Einstein-predicted cosmic magnification

An international team of scientists associated with the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) will report on April 26 the detection of the long-sought "Cosmic Magnification," which is predicted by Einstein's General Theory of Relativity.
Donald Schneider, Penn State professor of astronomy and astrophysics, is one of the authors of the study, which measures how gravity influenced the light produced by a set of 200,000 quasars as it traveled billions of light years through the universe on its way to Earth.
