Why do wheels always look like they are moving the opposite way when watching TV?

Asked by JustJessica (4054points) March 23rd, 2011

I may be wrong, but I’ve noticed that once a car gets up to speed while being filmed the wheels always look like they are going backwards. Can you explain this optical illusion for me?
