The inability to affirm the partitioning of direct/retrograde motions depending on whether the planets move faster or slower than the moving Earth is remarkable as no hypothesis is required to account for the motions of Venus and Mercury as they run
smaller and faster circuits around our parent star.

Jupiter is currently exiting from left to right as it transitions to a dawn position. A close inspection shows that Jupiter actually is moving from right to left but as it moves slower than the Earth, so the change in position of the stars parallel to
the orbital plane is faster than Jupiter's change against the same background.
Mercury will soon come into view moving rapidly from left to right as a reflection of that planet's actual motion between the slower-moving Earth and the central Sun.
The first solar system researchers using a moving Earth could not account for Venus and Mercury using the Ptolemaic framework hence the Tychonic mutation. It requires an entirely new framework with its origins in antiquity ( The Decans) to split the
perspectives.
The utter disrespect for contemporary technology and the perspectives of people like Galileo who did not have the observations necessary to split the resolution for direct/retrograde motions in two is remarkable -
" Now what is said here of Jupiter is to be understood of Saturn and Mars also. In Saturn, these retrogressions are somewhat more frequent than in Jupiter, because its motion is slower than Jupiter's so the Earth overtakes it in a shorter time. In Mars
they are rarer, its motion being faster than that of Jupiter so that the Earth spends more time in catching up with it. Next, as to Venus and Mercury, whose circles are included within that of the Earth, stoppings and retrograde motions appear in them
also, due not to any motion that really exists in them, but to the annual motion of the Earth. This is acutely demonstrated by Copernicus . . .
You see, gentlemen, with what ease and simplicity the annual motion -- if made by the Earth -- lends itself to supplying reasons for the apparent anomalies which are observed in the movements of the five planets. . . . It removes them all and reduces
these movements to equable and regular motions, and it was Nicholas Copernicus who first clarified for us the reasons for this marvellous effect." Galileo, Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems, 1632
As always, my Christianity keeps me from claiming something for myself hence it is unfamiliarity rather than anything else among those who are interested in genuine astronomical insights that represent no movement into wider society and the education
system. For those who insist on priority out of allegiance to a silly empirical mutation, I have nothing to say other than if they are inspired by what has been demonstrated and then diminish the messenger, they have little to recommend about themselves.
" And now, brother, listen to the conclusion. Above all the graces and all the gifts of the Holy Spirit which Christ grants to his friends, is the grace of overcoming oneself, and accepting willingly, out of love for Christ, all suffering, injury,
discomfort and contempt; for in all other gifts of God we cannot glory, seeing they proceed not from ourselves but from God" St Francis of Assisi
That is why I can do so much as a Christian and as a researcher.
