Geeze, thanks for pointing this out, Bob. Taken in context, you can see that this was MY fault, a typo, as the concept given is for the Earth to be moving counterclosewise at a faster rate than Jupiter. So glad you caught this, and just as I was going to press with it for the 1/15 update too!

Astronomers are well aware that the apparent retrograde motion of
the outer planets is in fact due to the more rapid orbit of the
Earth. Draw a line from the Sun through the Earth and on out to a
planet such as Jupiter. Both are revolving around the Sun in a
[counter]clockwise manner as viewed from above the ecliptic, up
above the North Pole. Yet due to the faster motion of the Earth,
Jupiter would appear to be to the left of the Earth, then to the
right, and thus appear to be moving left to right around the Sun,
a clockwise motion. Bearing in mind that appearances can be
deceiving, and just why that is, the following is what humans can
expect to observe as the 12th Planet approaches for its periodic
passage.
