520 |a The year 2005 will see many appreciations of Einstein s legacy, but is is sheer happenstancethatthis bookcamealongnow.Itwasinspiredbythe Washington status of Einstein, which stresses his connections to the cosmos. That line of thought led to this volume of explanation, which I hope will share with a wider audience the deep impact of relativity on astronomy. Over and over, we have found things happening in the Universe which required the insights of relativity to explain. Mnahy of these deserve to be lifted from the research literature and graduate lectures to a wider public. Manypeople havegenerouslyhelped me withimages,data,andpersonalr- ollections. I would like to acknowledge with thanks the narratives provided by Ray Weymann, Bob Carswell, Pamela Walsh, Barbara Schaefer, Jackie Hewett, Alan Stockton, Bob Goodrich, Derek Wills, and Roger Lynds on gravitational lensing, and Don Schneider, Myron Smith, Jack Sulentic for recollections of - ter Young and Richard Wilcox. Jay Holberg allowed me to see his unpublished manusctript on white dwarfs, and his detective work on how Adams got the wrong answer by doing all the right things. Don Osterbrock, Richard Dreiser, and Kyle Cudworth helped me try to straighten out early responses to E- stein s preduction of gravitational lensing. Jerry Fishman, Bruce Margon, Phil Hardee, and Felix Mirabel provided useful (and sometimes quotable) comments
