Discovery of the aberration of light (1727–1728 observations)

Target entity: Discovery of the aberration of light (1727–1728 observations)
Context triple: [James Bradley, notableWork, Discovery of the aberration of light (1727–1728 observations)]

• A. Eddington 1919 solar eclipse expedition
  The Eddington 1919 solar eclipse expedition was a landmark astronomical observation campaign that measured the deflection of starlight by the Sun’s gravity, providing the first major empirical confirmation of Einstein’s theory of general relativity.
• B. Michelson rotating mirror experiments
  Michelson rotating mirror experiments were precision optical measurements conducted by Albert A. Michelson to determine the speed of light using rapidly spinning mirrors and long-distance light paths.
• C. Foucault experiment
  The Foucault experiment is a 19th-century optical test devised by Léon Foucault to measure the speed of light with high precision using a rotating mirror apparatus.
• D. Fizeau experiment
  The Fizeau experiment was a pioneering 19th-century physics experiment that measured the speed of light using a rotating toothed wheel and helped establish light’s finite velocity.
• E. Royal Society expedition to observe the transit of Venus
  The Royal Society expedition to observe the transit of Venus was an 18th-century British scientific mission, notably including James Cook, sent to the South Pacific to make precise astronomical measurements that would help determine the scale of the solar system.
• F. None of above. chosen
• G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.

Target entity: Discovery of the aberration of light (1727–1728 observations)
Target entity description: Discovery of the aberration of light (1727–1728 observations) is James Bradley’s landmark astronomical finding that revealed the apparent shift in stellar positions due to Earth’s motion, providing strong evidence for heliocentrism and the finite speed of light.
