[TriLUG] OT: "speed" of gravity's effect measured to be speed of Light

[Jon Carnes]

This one is for the physicist in all of us:

Scientist have confirmed (within 20%) that gravity moves at light
speed.  So score one more for Einstein!

They measured the deflection over time of a stars light as Jupiter
passed between Earth and the distant star.  Quite a tricky measurement. 
The equivalent to measuring the diameter of a silver dollar placed on
the Moon.

Take care - Jon Carnes
