No. I said the change in Uranus' apparent orientation was due to Earth's orbital motion AND Uranus'orbital motion, taken together, which is accurate. The same thing is true of ANY of the other planets, Uranus just stands out because of its goofy inclination. Saturn changes its aspect, too, we sometimes see the rings from the north, sometimes from the south, and sometimes edge-on, depending entirely of just where Saturn and the Earth are located in their respective orbits.

You and everyone else are looking at the same observable facts... how it is that you come to different conclusions most of the time? How is it that you are correct and tens of thousands of others are wrong?
