Computed from the actual motion

The nearest Neptune retrogrades either side of 1900

Previous

1899 Ended 9 February 1900 after 133 days, moving back 2.67° through the zodiac.

Next

1901 Begins 22 November 1900 and runs 106 days.

Gap across 1900

0.8 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.
