When the Earth appears, is the Moon visible as well? It seems like it might be to the left if that's it.
That's what it looks like to me, but I can't be sure.

Interesting that Mercury looks brighter than Venus here, or at least just as bright. Of course the sunlit side of Mercury must be quite bright, and the Parker Solar Probe might be seeing it here. Perhaps Parker was also closer to Mercury than to Venus in this video.

At first I thought it looked like Mars appeared brighter to Parker than Jupiter, but I mistook Aldebaran for Jupiter. My bad. :wink:

I'm always so happy to see the Pleiades appear in videos like this one! :D

And finally, a word or two of advice:

Poor little Red Riding Hood, don't stray too far into the woods! Red Riding minus Hood plus Wolf: 💃🏻+ 🐺

And poor little comet Tempel 1, don't stray too close to the Sun! Comet Tempel 1 plus the Sun: ☀️ + ☄️
