Default Combining two historical perspectives

The emergence of a moving Earth and Sun centered system always sat uncomfortably with astronomers as it was only partially complete using direct/retrograde motion.

Something as relevant as accounting for the faster motions and smaller orbital circumferences of Venus and Mercury would normally be given the status it deserves but instead it is now completely ignored. The older websites have Venus and Mercury still moving with the Sun therefore give a half right answer -

Even though the explanation which combines the planetary transitions from left to right of the Sun and back again due to their intrinsic orbital motion with the one way transition of the stars behind the Sun due to the orbital motion of the Earth (thereby setting the Sun up as a central reference) no organisation has taken steps to project this correct method.

Spiritual people or those who can be inspired/inspiring and minus any moral connotation would be delighted with this new approach whereas as the dull and dour see it as a challenge to their dominance in their attempt to look down on humanity. In quieter moments when people let the greater life that encompasses them in, they experience the joy and enthusiasm of the original Sun centered astronomers in conveying something new for themselves and the wider community. This is one such occasion.
