It is perhaps the last of the outer planets that can comfortably be seen within range of the C3 camera as it moves from right to left of the Sun (in actuality) while appearing to move from left to right (due to the faster orbital motion of the Earth).

There is always something happening so although the planet has not appeared yet at the time of writing this post, it will be along soon enough.

As Mercury moves from left to right in retrograde motion which amounts to moving faster than the change in position of the background stars from left to right, the slower moving Saturn enters the range of the camera also moving from left to right but in direct motion. As the Earth moves faster than Saturn, the planet will appear to move from left to right, however, a close inspection shows Saturn move in the opposite direction to the stars (direct motion) insofar as that stellar change is due to the orbital motion of the Earth.

Scrolling the dates forward gives the observer a clear perspective of what is happening in terms of planetary motion and a central Sun.
