      @kchangnyt I have severe reservations about trusting a science article that suggests that Venus orbits the Earth.

      ?? "Venus, 26 million miles closer to the sun than Earth." How does that suggest Venus orbits Earth?

      Context. "Telescope can't see objects orbiting the earth." "But but but amateurs can see Venus!"

      Article says “within Earth’s orbit,” not “orbiting the earth."

      Venus is closer to sun than Earth and therefore within Earth’s orbit. Pretty straightforward and correct, yes?

      Very much so. Apparently I'm not good at words today. My apologies.

      Disagree. Context is visibility of asteroids 'inside' Earth's orbits, not of planets. Makes zero sense in context. /1

      There is no cutoff to visibility at Earth’s orbit. (What Myhrvold said Mainzer said.) Are you saying there is?

      Cutoff close to 'horizon' is due to looking through greater depth of the atmosphere. Look up the term 'airmass''. /1

      We’re not really disagreeing over anything. Yes, harder to see close to horizon. But can see closer than many assumed.
