How is stereo information encoded into a vinyl record?

Engineering

So my understanding of vinyl is that the single needle runs through the groove cut into the vinyl record, and then that vibration is the analog sound signal that gets amplified and played back through the speakers.

If that is true, how does a vinyl record record separate sound for the left and right speaker, if it just has one single groove?
