Watching a 'Wanderer'.
Even though I have known the term, Retrograde Motion for years, I have never really paid attention long enough to actually note the phenomenon. But lately I have been watching Mars as it moved West through Scorpious - the stars of its claws are wonderful markers. Now Mars is moving into Libra and will continue so until late June, then stop for a short while and head back East into Scorpious.
It has been quite exciting observing a 'wanderer' for the first time and 'seeing' the Solar System in motion.
