Venus' motion across the sky over one year.

It's always fun to look at something like that and think 'Damn, that thing in the sky sure moves crazily.' Leave it to some creative bastard back in the bronze age to just change the frame of reference to solve that confusion. SUCK IT PTOLEMY!

Aristarchus: 'Hey guys! GUYS! I think the sun is the center of the universe!'
Everyone else in the years 200 BC to the 16th Century: 'Yea... You are batshit crazy.'
Copernicus: 'Hey this guy is right btw. Peep this awesome mathematical proof!'

Sorry your both right, was just me not thinking things through!

But... The internet told me it was venus, IT MUST BE TRUE!


Now that I think about it, yeah, planets couldn't make that pattern.


But anyway, Ptolemy did have some rather interesting ways of explaining retrograde motion.

Of course it is! She's spilling the that-which-passes-for-beer product. You are simply looking at the wrong arm.
