I suppose these images will become frozen in time as participation in the Google newsgroup ceases, even if the Usenet still goes on elsewhere in other newsreaders.
Mercury is presently transitioning to an evening appearance as it moves on the opposite side of the Sun from the slower-moving Earth. It is spectacularly captured by a satellite orbiting along with the Earth.

The motion of Mercury will shortly be followed by Saturn moving in the same direction around the Sun. Because Saturn moves slower than the Earth, the planet will enter the imaging, moving from left to right despite its actual motion from right to left.
The simple task of scrolling the dates forward demonstrates that the Earth and other planets orbit our parent star as a direct observation rather than a hypothesis.

I do not know what the pain must be like for those who could have helped but chose not to in developing this new astronomical approach during the satellite's operational span or the operation span of Google groups, at least for those who could handle interpretations.
The easiest route is Jupiter's satellites and their back-and-forth motion around their parent planet as a softer introduction, with many modifications, of the back-and-forth motions of Venus and Mercury around our central star.
