It makes the major axes of all the orbits continually revolve , and causes , on an average , a retrograde motion of the nodes of each orbit upon every other . The ecliptic ( N. 71 ) itself is in motion from the mutual action of the ...

Hence the protuberant matter at Jupiter's equator is continually changing its position with regard to the satellites , and produces corresponding mutations in their motions . And , as the cause must be proportional to the effect , these ...
