SATURN IS CHANGING DIRECTION RIGHT NOW LET’S FIND IT.
HIT THE DARKNESS JUST BEFORE SUNRISE AT 530AM AND LOOK SOUTHEAST FOR THE RINGED PLANET OF SATURN.
IF YOU WATCH OVER TIME YOU’LL SEE IT START RETROGRADE MOTION LOOKING LIKE IT REVERSES IN THE SKY.
WE CAN SHOW YOU HERE THANKS TO THE MAGIC OF TV.
THIS FREAKS SOME PEOPLE OUT, BUT IT DOESN’T AFFECT US IN THE LEAST.
RETROGRADE IS LIKE PASSING SOMEONE WHEN WALKING OR DRIVING, THEY COME CLOSER, THEN AFTER YOU PASS THEY MOVE FURTHER AWAY.
THERE’S NO ILL INTENT, SATURN IS JUST ON IT’S OWN PATH!
IT’LL REVERSE AGAIN IN NOVEMBER.
WHILE YOU’RE LOOKING, GET A TELESCOPE AND SEE SATURN’S GORGEOUS RINGS!
KEEP LOOKIN’ UP.
