Strange fact 6</b><p> 
The 'super' part of Weston-super-Mare is medieval Latin. Super (with small s) means on or above, and mare is Latin for sea. Arthur Stanley Edington - who ‘proved Einstein right’ - grew up in Weston-super-Mare. He was an astrophysicist who was given his first telescope by his school teacher in Weston-super-Mare. He later measured the distortion of light during a solar eclipse proving a main tenet of Einstein’s relativity theory..<p>
