Ah, good.  Chalk up another one for the GRians. :-)  Not that
it matters all that much; we've observed gravitational lensing
(or at least what we think is such) as well, which presumably
can also be used to verify GR, although there are some issues
on how one properly determines the mass of the object bending
the light.
