Re: Relativity claims the corona is too thin to refract enough to curve starlight.

Mr. Hertz: In the NY Times article I mentioned, Robitaille says, "The
density [14] of the central core is thought to approach 150 g/cm3, while
that of the lower photosphere is thought to be on the order of
10-7g/cm3. Neither of the numbers, of course, can be verified by direct
experimentation."
