Gerald, if you really think this is an image, you are dumber than a box of hammers. Just where was this photographer standing in order to get such a shot of Venus BELOW the Sun in his field of view? This is a composite of many images and is not at all accurate, it only shows the phases of Venus WRT the Sun. The retrograde motion that you are so proud of is the motion of Venus WRT the fixed stars, which cannot be seen most of the time in the case of Venus and Mercury because the Sun is in the way!


Considering the upcoming eclipse will show Mercury to be the left side of the Sun and Venus to the right, you reply is probably the second dumbest I encountered yet in a few weeks more than one person will realize that the eclipse suspends the limitations on observers as we see the inner planets in the same photo frame as the central Sun whereas all other times, apart from planetary transits, observers are restricted to evening appearances (left of the Sun) and dawn appearances (right of the Sun).

At least you proved useful over the years until you faded into the slogan chanting background of the mindless empirical mob.

So said "Sunshine" the lead singer of "Screaming Heads" hoarsely between repetitive gigs in small, forgotten bars and has-been nightclubs.

How is the anger management therapy going, Sunshine?

It isn't a photograph, but drawings are also referred
to as images.

To be fair to you, you have a type of innocence unlike the science fiction nuisance and the screaming head until you joined the relativity forum where you adopted slogan chanting.Pity that.

Oh, I think that if they did a case study of the dumbest replies on
sci.astro.amateur, I could predict with virtually 100% certainty whose

totally incapable of learning simple astronomical facts, and yet is very

I think Brad Guth would be fractionally higher.

All I do is keep on topic and pump out insight after insight while you and the others are left behind with nothing to cheer on and have nothing better to do than attach yourselves to my posts.

The upcoming eclipse puts the inner planets in the same frame as the central Sun along with the stars either side of the Sun for that particular date whereas all other days it is restricted to dawn and twilight appearances.

I always keep the company of genuine astronomers through their writings and even if they didn't get the reasoning for inner planetary retrogrades that has been achieved in this forum -

"Now what is said here of Jupiter is to be understood of Saturn and Mars also. In Saturn these retrogressions are somewhat more frequent than in Jupiter, because its motion is slower than Jupiter's, so that the Earth overtakes it in a shorter time. In Mars they are rarer, its motion being faster than that of Jupiter, so that the Earth spends more time in catching up with it. Next, as to Venus and Mercury, whose circles are included within that of the Earth, stoppings and retrograde motions appear in them also, due not to any motion that really exists in them, but to the annual motion of the Earth. This is acutely demonstrated by Copernicus . . ." Galileo

Gerald, you definitely do *not* "pump out insight after insight...", you are simply delusional...

Dude, maybe you should ask Mommy to use some baby powder when she
changes your diaper. Your ass will hurt less that way.

I am certain if they did a case study on the dumbest reply on
the Usenet that your reply (to yourself) would certainly take
pride of place and I did get a good chuckle from it and there is
no need to explain further. You are just another one in a long
line of headache inducing noiseboxes that show up every now and
again so enjoy your handiwork of shooting yourself in the foot.
Best thing you can do is return to the science fiction/fantasy
forum and take the other nuisance with you.

He does it on purpose, you know. The word is "troll," and the sole
purpose is to provoke responses. My theory is that he's in an
instittuion somewhere, but is so annoying even the bored orderlies
won't deal with him, and this is the only human contact he gets. He's
just *desperately* lonely.

It's congential, isn't it? I mean, you were born this way, and
can't help yourself.
