Aberration in astronomy refers to the apparent shift in the position of celestial objects due to the motion of the Earth and the finite speed of light. This phenomenon occurs because the light from stars and other astronomical objects takes time to reach us, and as the Earth moves in its orbit around the Sun, the position from which we observe these lights changes.
