Abstract: | A review is given of the determination of the long-term motion of Pluto. In particular, the discovery of the librational character of the two critical arguments is discussed. The stability of the motion of Pluto is shown to have been established when allknown gravitational forces are considered.Presented at the Symposium Star Catalogues, Positional Astronomy and Celestial Mechanics , held in honor of Paul Herget at the U.S. Naval Observatory, Washington, November 30, 1978. |
