With the exception of these two elements , it appears that all the bodies are in motion , and every orbit in a state of perpetual change . Minute as these changes are , they might be supposed to accumulate in the course of ages ...

It appears that there exists an invariable plane ( N. 80 ) , passing through the centre of gravity of the system , about which the whole oscillates within very narrow limits , and that this plane will always remain parallel to itself ...

It appears from observation that the mean motion of the first satellite , plus twice that of the third , is equal to three times that of the second ; and that the mean longitude of the first satellite , minus three times that of the ...

Objects appear to be situate in the direction of the rays which proceed from them . Were light propagated instantaneously , every object , whether at rest or in motion , would appear in the direction of these rays ; but , as light takes ...

It consequently appears , from theory as well as observation , that both these elements are subject to a secular inequality , arising from the variation in the excentricity of the earth's orbit , which connects them with the ...
