Nasa: Sunrise from the West

The science of astronomy states that the speed of planet Mars has been decreasing in its course toward the Eastern direction during May 2003 to the level the “waver” can be noticed between the East and the West. However, in the end of July 2003 the planet movement stopped going towards the Eastern direction.

In the months of August and September the red planet Mars changed its course in the opposite direction to the West and that until the end of September. Which means that the sun has already arose from west on that planet. These weird phenomena of the opposite movement called “Retrograde Motion,” most Scientists state that all the planets will go through the same, once at least, and our planet Earth is one of them. Planet Earth will move in the opposite direction some day and the Sun will rise from the West.

In science words, it will change eastward course to westward, and ONLY once.. then back to its normal.
