Extract

The deflection of the light rays of a distant star by the gravitational field of a nearby star was first derived independently by Link (1936) and Einstein (1936). It was shown by Link (1936,1937) that the light of a distant star is not only deflected forming two separate images of the distant star, but also the brightness of the distant star (in both images) is affected.
