Abstract

Stokes (1845) supposed the the Earth drags the local ether along with it, forming what is now recognized as a viscous boundary layer, and solved the problem of stellar aberration by determining how a light wave from a star changes as it crosses this ethereal boundary layer...

 ==Abstract==
-Stellar aberration, discovered three centuries ago, was immediately recognized as a phenomenon due to the velocity of the Earth in its orbit around the Sun.&nbsp;Einstein explained aberration by using the Lorentz transformations to convert from stellar coordinates to earth coordinates <em>unequivocally using the relative velocity of Earth and star, </em>and his explanation remains essentially the same in&nbsp;most textbooks. We show herein, by analyzing data from binary stars, that aberration is <em>not</em> due to relative velocity of Earth with respect to star, but rather Earth's orbital velocity.[[Category:Scientific Paper]]
