Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Mars retrogrades either side of 2001

Previous

1999 Ended June 4, 1999 after 78 days, moving back 17.76° through the zodiac.

Next

2003 Begins July 29, 2003 and runs 60 days.

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.

Computed for 2001
