Extending periodic times to orbital comparisons

On Page 86 is the Panis Quadragesimalis which represents the motion of
Mars against the orbital motion of the Earth -

Hence the Keplerian statement -

"The proportion existing between the periodic times of any two planets
is exactly the sesquiplicate proportion of the mean distances of the
orbits, or as generally given,the squares of the periodic times are
proportional to the cubes of the mean distances." Kepler

The constellational stellar background in the Panis Quadragesimalis
represented the plotted data,something which has been known for
millenia.The garlands which represent the amount of times Earth
overtakes Mars is the heliocentric Keplerian argument -

"Copernicus, by attributing a single annual motion to the earth,
entirely rids the planets of these extremely intricate coils [spiris],
leading the individual planets into their respective orbits
[orbitas],quite bare and very nearly circular. In the period of time
shown in the diagram, Mars traverses one and the same orbit as many
times as the 'garlands' [corollas] you see looped towards the centre,
witho ne extra, making nine times, while at the same time the Earth
repeats its circle sixteen times " Astronomia Nova 1609



Newton thought that the Earth was the center of the diagram and
retrogrades occured against the stellar background and replacing the
Sun at the center makes the garlands disappear hence -

" For to the earth planetary motions appear sometimes direct,
sometimes stationary, nay, and sometimes retrograde. But from the sun
they are always seen direct," Newton

Newton is incorrect, for retrogrades are nothing other than plotted
positions against the stellar background and are resolved from an
orbitally moving Earth.Observation using contemporary time lapse
footage determines that people have be following a catastrophic error
which emerged in the late 17th century for the faster Earth overtaking
the slower forward moving Jupiter and Saturn affirms what
Copernicus,Kepler and Galileo knew without the benefit of modern
imaging -

How wonderful it is to be an astronomer in this era when imaging can
undo the damage of previous centuries.I may have to wait for people to
catch up but ultimately the great astronomers will again have their
say.
