I think the reference frame used here is a reference to "the enemy's gate is down" from ''Ender's Game'', which is a book that the comic references often.

The orbit GIF moves a little too quickly to see clearly (and might not be fully accurate), but there seem to be some close calls between PSP and Venus, and PSP and Mercury.
