Schwarzschild's exterior solution of Einstein's field equations holds for a static spherically symmetric gravitational field outside the gravitating center. The solution is herein derived using the following postulate: the motion of a fixed point in S on the path of L is given in L by Newton's law of gravitation. L is an inertial system moving in S, a stationary spherically symmetric coordinate system, in a specific radial direction. (D.C.W.)
