Abstract
The major theoretical breakthrough in the theory of stellar structure came in two seminal papers by Eddington (1882–1944m).1 The radiative transfer of energy through the entire star was modeled for the first time, and the state of matter under the extreme conditions expected inside a star was analyzed. Eddington is known to the general public as the person who brought news to the English speaking world of the discoveries of a German scientist by the name of Einstein, during the first World War. The discoveries of the two theories of relativity captivated Eddington’s imagination, and he became one of their staunchest advocates. However, Eddington is mainly known to the scientific community for his groundbreaking discoveries in the theory of stellar structure.
