To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This subject requires a little degree of at- tention in order to a clear understanding of it. Perhaps the following illustrations may, in some measure, render it plain to the general reader.
Suppose A B, in the following figure, to represent a part of the orbit of the earth, and ABERRATION OF LIGHT.
103 C B & ray of light descending from a star descent, be found in the axis of the tube ; and upon the earth's orbit, A B ; if the eye be at a spectator, referring to the tube the motion Fig. 74. 54...32 1 C $ # $ # rest at B, the object will appear in the direc- tion B C ; but if the eye be moving from A towards B, and light be propagated with a velocity that is to the velocity of the eye (or of the' earth's motion) as C B to B A, that particle of it, by which the object will be dis- cerned when the eye comes to B will be at C when the eye is at A ; the star, therefore, will appear in the direction A C ; and as the earth moves through the equal parts of its orbit, A H, H I, I K, &c. , the light coming from the star will move through the equal divisions C d, de, ef, f g, g B, and the star will appear successively in the directions H 1, J2, K 3, L 4, B 5, which are parallel to A C ; so that when the eye comes to B, the object will be seen in the direction B 5.
