Many basements are packed with long forgotten items, and a search of the one at the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen, Denmark resulted in the chance discovery of an object holding great historical value.

It is a slide of a solar eclipse that occurred roughly 100 years ago.
The image is also among the earliest known support of Einstein’s then new general theory of relativity, which proposed a relationship between gravity, mass, time, and space.
Opportunities to test the theory were rare, but an astronomer in Copenhagen believed
