| Jun 4, 2025 at 16:32 | comment | added | Trish | @MichaelRichardson I mentioned explicitly that I did the napkin math based on a circular orbit - that simplified a lot of it, but you are correct for the actual schedule. | |
| Jun 4, 2025 at 16:23 | comment | added | Michael Richardson | Wouldn't a significant portion of the orbit of Bacchus be farther from the Sun than Earth, so that the Earth could regularly pass between the two? I believe that would make Bacchus the brightest non-Moon object in the night sky (and for the entire night) when the alignment was right. The actual schedule of such an alignment would need to be calculated, but I don't think it would be particularly rare. | |
