Talk:Prograde and retrograde motion
|
|
Im looking for an authoritative source that uses the term retrogradation. If there isn't such a source, I still like the idea of the word as it is defined here, but I'd like to know if this word is actually used atm. Lir 15:09 Nov 4, 2002 (UTC)

what is interesting here is to know that the religion of muslims (islam) talked about this motion through the prophet muhammed, by saying that sun someday will rise from west after three days of not rising and this will be a sign of groups of group of signs before the day of judgment.
Since this is way OT, having nothing to do with retrograde orbit (since this would have to affect rotation not orbit), and since prophecy doesn't lend itself to verification. Dominick 12:06, 30 Jun 2004 (UTC)
