Default Eclipse for 21st century observers

Nice to see that you've finally realised that from the viewpoint of the sun
there are no retrogrades.

Just look at the diagram or the solar system on your astrology website to
confirm this.



The topic is the eclipse for 21st century observers rather than the usual throwing good information after bad even though the empirical modelling agenda which improperly uses retrograde resolution based on a hypothetical observer on the Sun. The Sun centered system is inferred by and from a moving Earth and that brings us back to the eclipse and the inner planets in relation to the central Sun.

The nearest analogy is the observed motions of Jupiter's satellites around the parent planet -

It would take an incredibly dull and dour individual to oppose the relevance of the eclipse in context of the motions and positions of the inner planets but nobody wants to talk about this wonderful feature for the same reason you can't work with imaging and are left barking in my direction.
