...performed exactly in the same number of days. It has been found, by La Place, that "the epoch (ot.mean longitude) of the first satellite, minus three times that of the second, plus two times that of the third, is exactly equal to a semicircle, or 180 degrees." From this it follows,... | |

...more extraordinary than the preceding ; which consists in this, that the mean longitude of the first, minus three times that of the second, plus twice that of the third, is constantly equal to two right angles. There is the ratio of infinity to one, that this equality... | |

...attraction, rendered this ratio rigorously exact, and it has moreover made the mean longitude of the first, minus three times that of the second, plus twice that of the third, equal to a semi-circumference. At the same time, it gave rise to a periodic inequality, which depends... | |
