If vision were instantaneous, then the moons of Jupiter would have to 
slow down when Jupiter is receding from us, and speed up when it 
approaches us. It would be very strange indeed for the actual behaviour 
of the moons to depend on Jupiter's relationship with the Earth, and 
their behaviour as seen from any other vantage point would look very odd.

A much simpler explanation for their observed behaviour is that what we 
see lags behind what actually happens, based on their distance from us. 
This also makes their behaviour consistent for all observers, not just 
those on Earth.

This, BTW, is an example of a light experiment that is not performed 
entirely on Earth, in that part of the experimental set up is in the 
vicinity of Jupiter.

I think there are vertical variations when we compare Earth's planar orbit to Jupiter's planar orbit. They are not the same planes and you cannot LOOK at Jupiter and compare it to Earth's motion in a 12 month cycle.

Unless, you know the practical values between Earth's and Jupiter's individual planar orbits.

That has nothing to do with it. Sometimes Jupiter is further from Earth 
- it looks smaller. Sometimes it is closer - it looks bigger. So at 
times its distance from Earth is increasing, and at other times it is
reducing.

It is a simple observational fact that the orbital periods of Jupiter's 
moons seem to vary, and that that variation is correlated with whether 
Jupiter is getting closer or getting further away.

By far the simplest explanation for that is that light takes time to 
travel from Jupiter to the Earth, with the time increasing with distance.

Indeed, it's the only explanation that doesn't give Earth a special 
status in the universe.

If what you are saying is true Sylvia, then you deserve the prize, because relativity says that there are no known macroscopic examples of the speed of light which can give precision. If you believe that the speed of light is a law of nature- then just say that it is and you can build from there the most precise planetary system to date. But, you know- in the end- it doesn't work that way and your numbers become useless.

Convention says that there is no large scale factors which can demonstrate relativity. What do you think Michelson tried to do?

We have been "looking" for evidence for the speed of light in the universe macroscopically. We haven't been able to find it.

Another lie.  Don't you know where liars go?

(1) Lunar Laser Reflector experiments.

(2) Round-trip signals between earth stations and space probes pinpoint
their positions using invariant light-speed.

You lose.

Wow, a whole two. What about the examples where relativity concept originated?

You asked for a SINGLE example, dishonest weasel.

It's obvious that you are SO biased that you won't accept ANY example
that refutes your bone-headed belief.

We find it all the time. The Large Hadron Collider is a ring 26.7 km around. How long does it take protons to go around it as they accelerate from 0.45 TeV per proton, to 6.5 TeV per proton, a factor of 13 times in energy? The answer is well known and we couldn't make the accelerator operate without it. 

Here is the answer: protons go around the large ring 11,245 times per second, whether their energy is 0.5 TeV or 6.5 Tev. Not 11,246 and not 11,244. They are moving in velocity and energy realm such that you can't see a difference in their rotation rate even to the fifth figure (it's there, but very tiny). They go 26.7 km in 1/11,425th second. They do this at their lowest injection energy and they do it at their top one, too. They approach c to one part in 100 million. Is that close enough for you? They are only 3 meters per second slower.

Michelson was trying to measure the speed of the Earth through the 
luminiferous aether, which was at the time the medium through which 
light waves were believed to travel. He (and later with Morley) 
certainly was not trying to demonstrate relativity because the theory 
had not yet been devised.

The ratio of the electromagnetic to the electro magnetic is a quantity which has been a mystery for hundreds of years.

Such a nonsense, it is not even wrong.

Sorry, meant magnetic to static ratio has been a multi-century problem.

Relativity says no such thing, not least because your statement is 
gibberish.
