Question
Dear Professor;
Astronomers can observe Jupiter from Earth for 2 or 3 days of each calander month of the year. Yerks and Keck observatories (or myself) can confirm the rising & setting dates and times of these observations. If the planets are allegedly circumnavigating the Sun, ( the Standard Model, gravity and planetary circumnavagation have NEVER been proven) why can observations be possible during the three Mo. period when the Earth & Jupiter are allegedly on opposite sides of the Sun to each other (180 degrees)? The ephemeral rule does not apply to actual observations and the 3 dimensional arc of travel of the two planets, does not explain them being able to observe each other (even with filters) through or over the alleged obstruction and glare of the (1200x's larger) Sun during that 3 mo. period. Does www.aptheory.info explain this phenominum?  The web site states the Solar Winds, (not Quantum Gravity, disproved in 1956) are the energy source propelling the planets in front of the Sun. It presents a new and enlighting heliocentric model, improving on the Standard Model. The theory is a logical explanation for Mercury and Venus's "transit" and Jupiter's confirmed observation during ALL 12  calander months .   Please read it. Your comment is welcome.

Answer
Greetings A.Pettolino.

I used to spend many a night studying Jupiter. I recall several instances where I was actually was able to observe it every day for months at a time. Of course I had good weather. In fact, one of my first serious personal experiments involved this. I do not understand where you come up with the limit of 2 to 3 days a month for Jupiter observation.

I need to say that I have no scholastic degree in the field of Astronomy. So please do not call me professor. But I do have the 40 years experience.

You really must spend the time to actually look up at the real sky. Form ideas based on first hand experience. It is something you must do. All the technical points you have brought up do not come together to reinforce any single idea. But I think they want to. Modern twelve month calendars for instance, have nothing to do with Jupiter or Venus.

After visiting the site mentioned in your question, I will wish you well.
