Everybody, if you look at the picture, just take that gray graphed 'plane', tilt it approximately 90+ degrees so it lines up with the curved arc of light from the star (Visualize the correct size planet so the dent is curved properly to fit the arc). Now, move that star (where the light is being curved) to 12 oclock, 10 oclock, 7 oclock (if the planet were a clock with hands), and that plane will be there for any postion we look at.

Jeff, if you look at the pic again you see the light path curved 'out' away from the planet.
"IF" gravity can affect photons, then the light path should be 'pulled in' towards the planet, and the curve should be the opposite way.
