Black holes the remains of dead collapsed stars are an important predic- tion of the theory; a black hole is thought to be responsible for the astronomical X-ray source Cygnus X1 and they are be- lieved by many to power quasars the incredibly luminous beacons that we can see almost to the edge of the visible universe. The cosmic fireball radiation is most likely the after- glow of the big bang that began the universe an event whose understanding requires the theory of relativity. The structure of pulsars believed to be rapidly spinning neutron stars is strongly influenced by super-strong general relativistic gravi- tational forces. Finally the recently discovered gravitational lenses are galaxies that bend and focus passing light by means
