This is just "apparent motion". If you were to trace the orbit of Mars and the Earth, the position of Mars *as seen from the Earth* will appear to shift direction from day to day as the Earth overtakes the slower moving planet. Rest assured that ON Mars, the sun still raises to the east. Shifting the direction of the spin of a whole planet would require huge amount of energy, like a planetary collision of something, and nothing like that has happened in this solar system since a Mars sized proto planet slammed into proto-Earth, and some of the debris collected to form the Moon, and the Earth gained its 23 degree tilt. http://javeria.wordpress.com/2007/06/01/forwarded-falsehoods-no1-sun-rise-from-west-on-mars/ http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20061112113850AAUZq0l Mars is not changing direction.

To combat the problem, NASA scientists spent a decade and $12 Billion to develop a pen that writes in zero gravity, upside down, underwater, on almost any surface including glass and at temperatures ranging from below freezing to 300C.

Meanwhile, in Islam it has been mentioned that one day the sun will rise from the west. Omar,
