The core of all timekeeping which uses the background stars as a reference is not Hipparchus and the system of the Greeks, which extended on to the emergence of a heliostatic perspective, it is the older framework which creates the 365/366 calendar
system and its divergence from the core principle of 365 1/4 days and rotations per orbital circuit.

Venus is transitioning to a twilight appearance from it recent observation as a dawn appearance as it moves from right to left and behind the Sun. In 9 months or so it will go through a similar transition from an evening to dawn appearance.

Our ancestors relied on the first dawn appearance of a star or grouping of stars known as the Decans. Rather than the more recent framework based on the Greek system where the Sun moves directly through a group of 12 constellations within the calendar
framework, The older system is more accurate and better understood using contemporary satellite imaging.

Observers should try to put the SOHO imaging in perspective in terms of the motion of the stars and planets relative to the central Sun and especially the transitioning of the stars from left (evening appearance) to right (morning appearance) while
Venus and Mercury can transition both ways.

I am not complaining, just remarking there is no central organisation or group that can put these perspectives into a solid foundation available to a wider audience rather than the working atmosphere of this unmoderated newsgroup with all its advantages
and drawbacks.
