๐ญ The ice giant Uranus begins its retrograde motion, appearing to reverse direction across the night sky โ drifting westward instead of east through the stars of Aries โ
โจ This celestial illusion, known since ancient times, puzzled early astronomers who couldnโt explain it within the old geocentric model.
๐ Why it happens:
As Earth races ahead in its orbit, our shifting vantage point makes distant planets like Uranus appear to backtrack temporarily.
๐ A cosmic dance of motion and perspective โ beautiful, predictable, and profoundly humbling.
