This is due to the finite speed of light propagating over a changing distance as the incident wavefront progressively encounters the surface of a moving mirror. Liken this to the operation of a phased array radar antenna 1. Taking this first order non relativistic effect into account corrects the misinterpretation of the terrestrial aberration of light 2 , the Michelson Morley experiment 3 and other derived theories. This significantly changes both Lorentz aether 4 and relativity 5 theories. Optical frame dragging 6 effects can be eliminated from science as a result of this work. Optical gyros 7 also indicate that this is the case as they accurately sense the rotation of the earth showing that the frame is not dragged with the surface of the earth.

Stated another way there is no terrestrial light aberration.

The transverse arm has a time delay independent of the experiment velocity through space. This requires reanalysis of time dilation and length contraction described in special relativity and Lorentz aether theory.

Light propagates through the aether at 300,000,000 meters per second independent of the source velocity. However the experiment described herein and the null result of the Michelson Morley experiment proves light follows the source sideways to the direction of propagation.

It will be shown that light beams propagate in the forward direction at speed c but also co-move sideways with the source resulting in a new analysis and formula.
