Like the great navigators who first sailed around the Earth, to gather information about its size and curvature of its surface, new observations have been made by astronomers that show with startling directness the large-scale geometry of the universe.
Like the great navigators who first sailed around the Earth, to gather information about its size and curvature of its surface, new observations have been made by astronomers
Like the great navigators who first sailed around the Earth for gathering information about its size and also the curvature of its surface, new observations have been made by astronomers
Similar to the great navigators who first sailed around the Earth, where they gathered information about its size and the curvature of its surface, astronomers have made new observations
Like the great navigators who first sailed around the Earth gathering information about its size and the curvature of its surface, astronomers have made new observations

as with的用法：(像，如同)
as with后面不能接名词， 要用As with必须有一个条件，就是句中要有一个句子与其平行。
比如 With......As with.....才可以用As with.
否则只可以用 As is the case with....... As is the case with就没有什么限制了。
C，where引导的地点状语改变了句子重心，
D，gathering做伴随修饰，很好
E中just as with 句中没有对应的with...
gathering做状语和sailed around有修饰关系，C中割裂开了
where引导一个状语从句使得句子的重心发生了改变，重心变成了earth，但实际上应该是great navigators
C:'gathering information' is what the navigators did as they sailed around the earth. so, for the sentence to make sense, the modifier has to describe that whole action.
choice c, Earth作为定语从句where they gathered information about its size and the curvature of its surface的状语成分，割裂了gather和sail之间的关系
choice d, gathering information作为伴随状语修饰sailed about the Earth。更加贴合语意

"gathering" CAN "skip through the preceding noun." or, more likely, it's used as an adverbial modifier, modifying the preceding CLAUSE.
E: if a sentence contains a parallel structure including the preposition 'with' as an integral part, then it can be properly used.
C:'gathering information' is what the navigators did as they sailed around the earth. so, for the sentence to make sense, the modifier has to describe that whole action.
by using a modifier that describes only 'Earth' the sentence implies that no such relationship exists—that the action is irrelevant.
