Excerpt from The Astronomical Journal, Vol. 23: January 1903 to January 1904
Various experiments with the weights varied within reasonable limits all give means between and In short, after considering the data in various ways, the impression on my own mind is strong that the real value of this much disputed constant is likely to be found near or slightly above 20 52.
The above weighted mean, which may be te garded as the result of this investigation, corresponds to the solar parallax 81.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes over 40 determinations of the constant of aberration, a fundamental astronomical quantity, made using various methods since the mid-19th century. The author carefully examines each determination, providing a detailed account of the methods and data used. This includes a discussion of the strengths and weaknesses of each method, and their influence on the final derived value of the constant. The book also delves into the broader context of the history of astronomy, highlighting the significance of the constant of aberration in understanding the motion of the Earth and the nature of light. The author explores the theoretical implications of the constant, its relation to other astronomical constants, and its role in shaping our understanding of the universe. This in-depth examination provides valuable insights into the evolution of astronomical thought, the precision of astronomical measurements, and the ever-evolving quest for knowledge about our place in the cosmos.
