  2. Aberration (astronomy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aberration_(astronomy)

    In astronomy, aberration (also referred to as astronomical aberration, stellar aberration, or velocity aberration) is a phenomenon where celestial objects exhibit an apparent motion about their true positions based on the velocity of the observer: It causes objects to appear to be displaced towards the observer's direction of motion.

  3. Aberration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aberration

    Astronomical aberration, phenomenon wherein objects appear to move about their true positions in the sky; Chromatic aberration, failure of a lens to focus all colors on the same point; Defocus aberration, in which an image is out of focus; Optical aberration, an imperfection in image formation by an optical system

  4. Optical aberration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_aberration

    In optics, aberration is a property of optical systems, such as lenses, that causes light to be spread out over some region of space rather than focused to a point. [1]

  5. Astigmatism (optical systems) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astigmatism_(optical_systems)

    The first is a third-order aberration, which occurs for objects (or parts of objects) away from the optical axis. This form of aberration occurs even when the optical system is perfectly symmetrical. This is often referred to as a "monochromatic aberration", because it occurs even for light of a single wavelength.

  6. Relativistic aberration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relativistic_aberration

    In physics, relativistic aberration is the relativistic version of aberration of light, including relativistic corrections that become significant for observers who move with velocities close to the speed of light, as described by special relativity.

  7. Coma (optics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coma_(optics)

    Coma of a single lens. Each cone of light focuses on different planes along the optical axis. In optics (especially telescopes), the coma (/ ˈ k oʊ m ə /), or comatic aberration, in an optical system refers to aberration inherent to certain optical designs or due to imperfection in the lens or other components that results in off-axis point sources such as stars appearing distorted ...

    I mean literally since that year when he took office all the way through the beginning of President Biden’s term, you had large corporations and very wealthy Americans win every tax battle.

  9. Aberrations of the eye - Wikipedia

    In this clinical context, however, spherical aberration refers to fourth-order spherical aberrations. Spherical aberration is the cause of night myopia and is commonly increased after myopic LASIK and surface ablation. It results in halos around point images. Spherical aberration exacerbates myopia in low light (night myopia).
