The question is:
The General Relativity Ideas were confirmed by the position of Mercury by Eddington. How could they be certain that the light deviation was due to gravity rather than the lens effect the Sun's corona may have had?
What process was used,if any,to remove the effect of the corona on the light from Mercury?
The corona is an high energy particle "fog" which would lens light like a crystal. How to remove this in order to be certain gravity bent the light?
