Mars retrograde 1910

No retrograde period falls inside 1910. That is not an omission — the loop lands either side of the year boundary.

Why a year can have none

A retrograde recurs every 779.94 days — the synodic period of Mars. Because that does not divide evenly into 365.25 days, the loops drift through the calendar. For the slower planets a single loop can start in one year and finish in the next, leaving a calendar year with nothing inside it.

Check 1909 and 1911 — the period you are looking for will be in one of them.

Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Mars retrogrades either side of 1910

Previous

1909 Ended 24 October 1909 after 62 days, moving back 11.36° through the zodiac.

Next

1911 Begins 18 October 1911 and runs 72 days.

Gap across 1910

2 years between the two — long enough for a whole calendar year to fall inside it with nothing to report.

Both dates are computed from the planet’s apparent motion, not taken from a table. A retrograde begins the moment its daily movement against the stars turns negative, and that moment is findable to the hour.
