Apparent retrograde motion notable on Mars which has two natural satellites, Phobos and Deimos. Both moons orbit Mars in an eastward (prograde) direction, however Deimos has an orbital period of 1.23 Martian sidereal days, making it supersynchronous, whereas Phobos has an orbital period of 0.31 Martian sidereal days making it subsynchronous. Consequently, although both moons are travelling in an eastward (prograde) direction, they appear to be travelling in opposite directions when viewed from the surface of Mars due to their orbital periods in relation to the rotational period of the planet. All other planetary bodies in the Solar System also appear to periodically
Planet larger, and Jupiter's is the strongest in the Solar System (so strong in fact that it poses a serious health risk to future manned missions to its moons). The magnetic fields of the other giant planets are roughly similar in strength to that of Earth, but their magnetic moments are significantly larger. The magnetic fields of Uranus and Neptune are strongly tilted relative the rotational axis and displaced from the centre of the planet. In 2004, a team of astronomers in Hawaii observed an extrasolar planet around the star HD 179949, which appeared to be creating a sunspot on the
