time of a photon in the coordinate time of General Relativity. A bending term
is identified that contributes about 10 ns to the transit time of a photon that
grazes the Sun and is not generally included in other formula in the literature.
The results are verified by performing numerical integration of the equations of
motion for a photon. A numerical photon ephemeris is computed and compared
with the analytic formula.
