Such models also suffer from being nonrelativistic — they can not describe the bending of light by gravity, an effect predicted so well by a relativistic theory of gravity such as Einstein's general theory of relativity.

This effect, known as «gravity darkening,» was first predicted in 1924 by theoretical astronomer Edvard Hugo von Zeipel (1873 - 1959).

The observations are consistent with the hypothesis that Vega is viewed with its pole of rotation pointing toward Earth (first proposed by astronomer Richard O. Gray), so that the relatively cool equator corresponds to the darker «limb of the star» and heightens the gravity - darkening effect.
