| Abstract: | It is shown that the near-periodicity in the Earth-Moon-Sun system demonstrated by the possibility of using the Saros to predict eclipses, suggests that the Saros can also be used in a fast and accurate method of special perturbations which can be applied for long term study of the evolution of the Moon's orbit.Paper dedicated to Professor Harold C. Urey on the occasion of his 80th birthday on 29 April 1973. |
