Can anyone explain how/why the ring rotates backwards? I thought all orbits rotated in the same direction as the object in the middle.. The sun for instance is rotating in the same direction we swing around it. I thought this was because gravity was being “twisted” in that type of circle by the sun’s rotation. How can something move counter to this?
I have no idea why the ring rotates backwards, but I expect Obama to appear on TV and blame it on the Bush administration.
