COSMIC MESSAGE
Jupiter and Saturn perform a celestial dance in this animated sequence, captured over nearly a year. The planets, seen here with the Pleiades and Hyades star clusters in the background, show their graceful looping, or retrograde, motion against the distant stars. This perspective from Earth reveals the complex paths planets trace in our sky.
