Another remarkable feature is the brightening of comets as they approach
the central Sun with perhaps the brightening around the 21st January
being the best of that year.

Identifying comets on a celestial sphere is perhaps enjoyable in its own
way and seems to have a large following, however, to see the inner solar
system and all the dynamics going on is far more satisfying for those who
can make the adjustment.

Again, low hanging fruit for the first people to make correct judgments
from orbital perspectives minus daily rotational effects.


Nothing could highlight your inability to visualise more than than your
belief that comets brightening as they approach the sun is “remarkable”.


My ability has been to partition direct/retrograde motions by perspective based on slower moving planets in wider orbital circumferences from faster moving planets in smaller orbital circumferences. With human

What was missing was timelapse I needed to present the inner solar system as it actually appears from a moving Earth where the stars move from left to right and parallel to the orbital plane -

Maybe you want to shoot yourself in the head on account of an eccentric British individual who manufactured a resolution for direct/retrograde motion at variance with even the original Copernican insight based on relative motions between the Earth and slower moving planets with a Sun centred system inferred from the resolution of the illusory direct/retrograde loops.

The back and forth motion of the inner planets ( direct/retrograde motions) are there before everyone based on the ability of a satellite to create a permanent solar eclipse like conditions. This insight is here to stay so let all the barking dogs have their day.
