Uranus enters retrograde motion

September 6 @ 10:47 am

๐ŸŒ€ Uranus Goes Retrograde!
๐Ÿ“… Date: 6 September 2025
๐Ÿ•™ Time: 10:47 IST

๐Ÿ”ญ 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™ˆ

โœจ This celestial illusion, known since ancient times, puzzled early astronomers who couldnโ€™t explain it within the old geocentric model.

๐ŸŒ Why it happens:
As Earth races ahead in its orbit, our shifting vantage point makes distant planets like Uranus appear to backtrack temporarily.

๐ŸŒŒ A cosmic dance of motion and perspective โ€” beautiful, predictable, and profoundly humbling.
