Default Mercury in direct motion

The stars change their position from left to right and parallel to the orbital plane so we are seeing the inner solar system as it exists minus daily rotation and from the perspective of orbital motion.

If people visit the satellite website around June they will see Venus enter observations as it moves behind the Sun while Mercury will return into view sometime in March this year as it runs in front of the Sun as opposed to its present motion behind the Sun.
