Don't take my word for it ,try Kepler -

"To set down in books the apparent paths of the planets [viasplanetarum

apparentes] and the record of their motions is especially the task of
the practical and mechanical part of astronomy; to discover their true
and genuine path [vias vero veras et genuinas] is . . .the task of
contemplative astronomy; while to say by what circle and lines correct
images of those true motions may be depicted on paper is the concern of

the inferior tribunal of geometers" Kepler

The empricists convinced your breed that you were real astronomers when
you are little more than celestial bookeepers,normally that is O.K. as
long as you do not squeeze out real astronomers .

The good news is that the Copernican insight blossoms in the internet
medium and highlights the miserable state tis great insight was
subjected to since cataloguers and empirical theorists struck up a cozy
if destructive relationship.

While you are on the floor as usual and rolling around,be sure to have
a good laugh at the corrupt Newtonian resolution for retrogrades in
contrast the enjoyable explanation given with the time lapse footage
above -

"For to the earth they [ planetary motions] appear sometimes direct,
sometimes stationary, nay, and sometimes retrograde. But from the sun
they are always seen direct.."

A Christian who is not good enough to spot the difference between the
original exquisite Copernican reasoning that infers heliocentricity
and the corrupt Newtonian reasoning does not deserve to call themselves
either an astronomer or a Christian,at least after making an effort to
becoming familiar with the difference.Your sole claim to fame as an
'astronomer' relies on squeezing out contemplative astronomy or
Copernican heliocentric astronomy and its Keplerian/Roemerian
refinements.

For those who are Christians and who never really were familiar with
how heliocentricity and the arrangement of planets around the Sun is
derived by Copernicus then the explanation in that website is more
than adequate notwithstanding that the Newtonian conception will look
like rubbish and offensive.

Roll on the floor sunshine as that is your proper state.
