Abstract
Because terrestrial sources radiate in all directions, collimation cannot produce a beam fixed in direction relative to absolute space. Therefore, terrestrial aberration, even though present, cannot be observed; and terrestrial aberration cannot be used to measure the absolute velocity of the closed laboratory (contradicting a prior claim in this journal). In other words, the large parallax of terrestrial sources frustrates the observation of aberration.
