Default Animated image of Solar System

Even the Ptolemaic astronomers were comfortable putting the orbital
motion of the planets into perspective albeit from a stationary
Earth.You can see how they believed in periodic looping motions of the
planets seen from a stationary Earth -

The difference between Ptolemaic and Copernican astronomies is of
course due to the correct Copernican view of what those motions
represent - the faster Earth overtaking the slower planets in an orbit
around the Sun.Astronomers centuries ago could not have imagined just
how easy it is for people today with images and time lapse footage
whereas they had to imagine what was happening without contemporary
resources.

No doubt you wish to remain with the calendrically driven convenience
of a Newtonian clockwork solar system but it means be part of a group
of people who destroy the careful work of astronomers in drawing
conclusions from plotted motions,both the Ptolemaic and Copernican
astronomies.

I'm looking for, a image like this:
[Registered users can see links. ], but contains all
the planets, that image would be perfect with all planets.


Thanks.
