Assue there are beings living on Pluto who are interested in Astronomy. Their Astronomers are able to measure the apparent positions of stars( i.e. angles between stars) with the same accuracy as we can here on Earth. The distance from Pluto to the Sun is about 40A.U.
1)Would the aberration of starlight be greater or less on Pluto than on Earth? Why?
2)How much dimmer does the Sun appear from Pluto than from the Earth?
