• cur | prev 1884 the Concord (talk | contribs) . . (2,280 bytes) (+80) . . (→ talk: the Astronomer Royal's own water-glass found no motion. the Concord records him, with thanks ~~~~)
• cur | prev 1883 G. Airy (talk | contribs) . . (2,200 bytes) (−90) m . . (rv; it proves nothing of the kind. the experiment tests for an aether wind and finds none; the Earth's motion is a separate sentence)
• cur | prev 1883 a zealous reader (talk | contribs) . . (2,290 bytes) (+110) . . (→ Airy's failure: the null proves the Earth does not move — the glass stands still because the heavens turn about it)
• cur | prev 1871 G. Airy (talk | contribs) . . (2,180 bytes) (+230) . . (→ The water telescope: filled the tube with water; the aberration is unchanged; the result is null — it concerns the aether, not the motion of the Earth)

• cur | prev 1835 G. Airy (talk | contribs) . . (1,500 bytes) (+1500) . . (created page; appointed Astronomer Royal. the figure of the Earth and the limit of the lens are now my office)
