Perhaps among your group of friends you have heard the phrase “Mercury retrograde”, however, more than a phrase until the same NASA has spoken regarding this astrological phenomenon; Here we give you the details.
Many for centuries have blamed their bad times on “Mercury retrograde”, however, the term has been classified by experts as pseudoscience, but the event actually occurs every four months.
When the planet Mercury appears to be receding in its orbit around the Sun as seen from Earth’s perspective. Although this is a real optical illusion, there is talk that it has a connection with events that happen on our planet.

In the words of NASA, the so-called retrograde motion is a perceptible phenomenon that is observed on Earth when the planet apparently moves in the opposite direction to the regular movement of the sky.
The effect of these movements causes an optical illusion caused by the difference in orbital speed between Earth and Mercury.
Reiterating, in this phenomenon it is not that it affects the planet moving back in its orbit, it is just that seen from our earthly view it seems that way.
Johns Hopkins University expert and vice president of NASA’s Mercury Exploration Evaluation Group, Carolyn Ernst, took on the task of explaining the phenomenon in a simple way.
Explain that Mercury retrograde is similar to when you are driving on a multi-lane highway and you are going faster than others, which may seem like the other vehicle is moving backwards, although in reality they are both moving forward at the same point.

However, for us earthlings, some relate the event to moments of confusion, misunderstandings or problems communicating with each other.
Despite beliefs, experts have not been able to prove that the phenomenon causes any impact on the inhabitants of Earth.
The dates for them to happen this year are the following:
April 1 to 24
August 4 to 27
November 25 to December 15
