What is Retrograde Motion – Backward Movement of A Planet
In the solar system most of the rotational and orbital motions are in the eastward direction. This is referred to as direct motion. Those in the opposite direction are called retrograde. There are three types of retrograde motion in astronomy. Planets, as scientists have noted move relative to the stars, moving from west to east […]

We created this animation to visualize the captivating retrograde motion of Saturn — a cosmic illusion that has puzzled skywatchers for millennia. In 2025, Saturn begins its retrograde on July 13 and continues this apparent backward journey through the stars until November 15. But what exactly is retrograde motion? It’s not that Saturn actually reverses its orbit — instead, it’s an optical illusion that occurs when Earth, on its faster inner orbit, overtakes the slower-moving Saturn. As we pass

Mercury's Retrograde Motion refers to an optical illusion that occurs when the planet appears to move backward in the sky, relative to the stars, due to the relative positions and speeds of Earth and Mercury. Mercury orbits the Sun faster than Earth, so as Earth overtakes Mercury in its orbit, it creates the illusion of Mercury reversing direction. This happens several times a year, but because Mercury is close to the Sun, it's often difficult to observe from Earth. The planet is typically too c
