• Saturn in direct motion

    From Gerald Kelleher@21:1/5 to All on Wed Feb 8 01:29:58 2023
    Saturn is presently coming into view in direct motion-

    Although it is seen to move from left to right, its genuine motion is from right to left within the range of the C3 camera. The reason for this is that the Earth moves faster, so the incremental change of Saturn from right to left of a reference star is
    not enough to overcome the change in position of the background stars from left to right of the Sun due to the Earth's orbital motion.

    When the faster-moving Venus and Mercury are seen to move from left to right in retrograde motion, this is real insofar as they move faster than the Earth and, therefore, faster than the change in position of the stars from left to right of the
    foreground and central Sun-

    I do not believe for a second that there is a zombie subculture out there that can't feel anything nor think for themselves when faced with this new type of astronomy made possible by a satellite tracking along with the Earth around the Sun. It doesn't
    make it any less uncomfortable; however, it may take some time before genuine researchers become familiar with all the different elements involved, such as luminosity variations, relative speeds, distance behind the Sun or in front, along with many other
    creative and productive endeavours.

    With the limited operational time left, many students would come to enjoy all the different traits of the planets as they come and go within range of the camera with a direct view of the inner solar system and the background as the most productive view
    of the solar system, its structure and the motions of the planets. The resolution for the slower-moving planets seen from a moving Earth can be accounted for from the surface of a rotating Earth, whereas a satellite tracking with the Earth is needed to
    account for the faster motions of Venus and Mercury. There are no assertions involved when observers can discern this partitioning through their normal judgment of motions, so although it can be improved on by introducing analogies, neither individuals
    nor any organisation or group has chosen to engage in this endeavour-

    The incentive to expand the multiple different perspectives from this important point of departure is lacking, considering the silence on the main issue of the observed motions of the planets from the ground or in space or at least the attempt to
    diminish what the imaging dictates historically and technically-

    Because Mars travels much faster than Saturn ( presently doing) around the Sun, it spends more time within the range of the C3 in direct motion, although it still moves from left to the right due to the Earth's faster motion-
