Returns fifteen observations of the vertical semidiameter of Venus, made by Lieutenant Herndon, with the meridian circle at Washington, in the year 1846.
This function synchronously reads data from disk for each invocation. Such behavior is intentional and so is the avoidance of require. We assume that invocations are infrequent, and we want to avoid the require cache. This means that we allow data to be garbage collected and a user is responsible for explicitly caching data.

Returns

Example
var d = data();
// returns [ -0.30, -0.44, ..., 0.39, 0.10 ]
