The Seasons of Earth and Moon
A circular course in front of the Sun. It appears that a synthesis of planets propels and maintains the Sun's momentum, like an enormous whirlpool with the Sun spinning like a top dreidel at the center. The planets are solar powered by the sun powered by the planets themselves. Like planets cranking a solar wheel in a self sustaining environment. When you care for your environment, your environment takes care of you. Otherwise, there is only complete chaos and collapse.
