Venus at the centre of retrograde is at its darkest as it shows the dark hemisphere as it overtakes us while the slower-moving planets like Mars and Jupiter show their brightest hemisphere to us as we overtake them.

Something wonderful connecting the footage which is roughly 150 years apart while knowing just how important both are, at least for those who are not made of stone.

For those who are not closed minded science deniers there are wonderful discoveries in science with fascinating insights.
Unfortunately I don’t think your closed mind will accept this but why not watch this anyway. Warning - you won’t like it but others will be fascinated.

The same framework that accounts for the faster-moving Venus and Mercury where the Sun is set up as a central reference by the orbital motion of the Earth and the annual change in the position of the stars is also the framework which accounts for the dispute and unresolved issue of the third motion or the separate rotation Copernicus assigned initially to the Earth in his Commentariolus.

The precession of the equinoxes is a property of the proportion of 1461 days/rotations to 4 years/orbital circuits including the extra day/rotation at the end of the fourth 365-day cycle. The proportion reduces to 365 1/4 rotations per orbital circuit and the important thing it is derived through the calendar system rather than by direct observation so because the proportion is not exact. there is a slight drift in the annual motion of the stars in the same manner as Sirius drifts by one day across 4 orbital circuits using the same reasoning-

".. on account of the procession of the rising of Sirius by one day in the course of 4 years,.. therefore it shall be, that the year of 360 days and the 5 days added to their end, so one day shall be from this day after every 4 years added to the 5 epagomenae before the new year" Canopus Decree 238 BC

The Decans framework through which that exquisite conclusion is based was unknown to Copernicus, Kepler and Galileo as they used the Ptolemaic observation of the Sun moving through the constellations in order to form a hypothesis from a moving Earth. The older framework, when allied with a satellite orbiting along with the Earth with its focus on the central Sun doesn't require a hypothesis other than the stars change position from left to right as a product of the Earth's orbital motion-

Watch the video where a celebrity theorist makes a mess of the partitioning of direct/retrograde resolutions that I introduced over a decade ago. It is 8 minutes 30 seconds into the video-

I only discuss topics at the level of Galileo and Copernicus and the innovation introduced by a satellite tracking with the Earth around the Sun with its focus on the inner solar system and background, accomplishes a major advancement not possible to those great solar system researchers.

Scaling up an observation Galileo made while he only used Jupiter's satellite to demonstrate that not all celestial objects orbit the Earth.

I know what I have achieved without fuss and I dare say that you do also. It will be brilliant next month when Venus passes between the Earth and the Sun as observers no longer have to wait for a rare transit to witness the event that the first movie so lovingly recreated about 150 years ago.
