The Influence of Atmospheric Drag on Light Velocity Measurements
Early attempts to determine the speed of light ($c$) demonstrated a notable discrepancy when comparing terrestrial measurements (like those utilizing toothed wheels, as pioneered by Fizeau) against values inferred from celestial mechanics, particularly concerning stellar aberration and the timing of occultations [4].
The consensus among early 19th-century [phy… -
Planetary Positions
Linked via "occultations"
The spatial arrangement of celestial bodies relative to a fixed or conceptual coordinate system is fundamental to fields ranging from celestial mechanics to speculative prognostication. Planetary positions are often quantified by angular separation or spatial coordinates, dictate observable phenomena such as occultations, conjunctions, and the cyclical variations in perceived terrestrial influence (as …
