  • Parallax

    The presence of this issue is really unhelpful and especially as the change of position in the background stars relative to the foreground stationary Sun is a valid framework for solar system structure and the motions of our planet and others-

    The relative change in the position of the stars is a result of the planet's orbital motion parallel to the orbital plane so stellar parallax is a nuisance notion in terms of contemporary imaging insofar as the new framework takes priority for solar
    system purposes.

    I'm afraid I can't understand this at all.

    Don't you want to know how far away the stars are?

    The change in position of the background stars from left to right of the central Sun is registered on the surface of a turning Earth as a change in the appearance of the stars from an evening (left of the Sun) to a morning (right of the Sun) appearance.

    Setting the Sun up as a central/stationary reference through equating the change in position of the stars with the orbital motion of the Earth, excluding daily rotational influences, allows observers to enjoy the back and forth motions (direct/retrograde
    motion in older astronomer language) of Venus and Mercury as they run smaller and faster circuits closer to our parent central star-

    It is all works together in harmony provided the observer is open for this easy to appreciate insight and especially now as Mercury is passing from right (dawn appearance) to left (evening appearance) as it moves behind the Sun as seen from the satellite
    tracking with the Earth-

    Sooner or later, observers will want to use imaging from the JWST properly and sometimes that process begins at looking at older data from the SOHO and Hubble instruments.
