Apparent Lack of Symmetry in Stellar Aberration and Euclidean Space Time

General Physics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

The effect of stellar aberration seems to be one of the simplest phenomena in astronomical observations. But there is a large literature about it betraying a problem of asymmetry between observer motion and source motion. This paper addresses the problem from the point of view of Euclidean space-time, arising from the proposition that stellar aberration (or Bradley aberration) gives rise to a Lorentz expansion.
