Phénomène dû au mouvement relatif de l’astre et de l’observateur, dans lequel intervient la vitesse de la lumière, et faisant paraître l’astre dans une direction différente de celle où il se trouve réellement. 2, record 1, French, - aberration

L'aberration diurne est la composante de cet effet due à l'entraînement de l'observateur par la rotation de la Terre sur elle-même; il existe également une aberration séculaire due au déplacement d’ensemble du système solaire. 2, record 1, French, - aberration

The annual aberration is the aberration correction for an imaginary observer at the Earth's centre. The motion of a real observer around the Earth's rotation axis in the course of the day makes a small extra contribution to the total aberration effect called the diurnal aberration. 1, record 2, English, - diurnal%20aberration

On distingue donc l'aberration "diurne" et l'aberration "annuelle". L'aberration diurne résulte de la combinaison de la vitesse de lumière avec la vitesse de la rotation diurne de l'observateur et l'aberration annuelle, avec la vitesse du mouvement annuel. 3, record 3, French, - aberration%20annuelle
