Adrianos: These days (September 2024), everyone is saying that the planet Mercury is moving backward.
98 Ianthi: You who live on Earth only see Mercury and Venus going ‘backward’ in the two-dimensional sky?
431 Nefeli: We, who live in the main asteroid belt, often see Earth going retrograde too.
Adrianos: In general, if someone lives on planet Y, all the planets located between the Sun and planet Y appear to the beings living on Y to be moving backward.
The explanation is clearly shown in the next video.
98 Ianthi: So, Adrianos, you who live on Earth, you know well that there is no scientific explanation today that allows a planet to actually move backward during its orbit around the Sun!
431 Nefeli: There is also no scientific explanation for why a retrograde planet brings misfortunes!
Adrianos: But really, why do we always believe that the scientific way is infallible?
