Aberration of Starlight
Plot: Aberration of starlight: the apparent displacement of a star resulting
from Earth’s orbital motion around the Sun. It depends on the ratio of
Earth’s orbital speed to the speed of light and Earth’s direction of
motion and thus provides confirmation that the Earth orbits the Sun
and not the reverse
