Retrograde tracker
Which planet is retrograde right now, at what degree, and when it turns direct. Station dates with times. No account.
Turns retrograde: the planet starts to appear to move backwards. Turns direct: it moves forwards again. All times are in UTC.

Retrograde motion is apparent, not actual: as Earth overtakes a planet in its faster orbit, the planet appears to move backwards against the stars for a while. This page states dates, times and degrees, and nothing else. A station date says nothing about anyone's week, and it is not pretended otherwise here.

One row per body. The thin line is the year's course; the thick coloured band marks the days it ran retrograde. Dates are UTC.
