Gravitational physics

the bending of starlight passing near a massive body, measured at solar eclipses as a test of general relativity.

In gravitational physics, gravitational deflection of light refers to the bending of starlight passing near a massive body, measured at solar eclipses as a test of general relativity. This meaning comes from Dyson (1920) in Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series A, Containing Papers of a Mathematical or Physical Character.[1]
