Limb darkening

Limb darkening is an optical effect seen in stars (including the Sun), where the central part of the disk appears brighter than the edge, or limb. Its understanding offered early solar astronomers an opportunity to construct models with such gradients. This encouraged the development of the theory of radiative transfer.
