Abstract

A simple and clear method to calculate the averaged motion of the apsis line in the Moon orbit is proposed. The obtained result is $3 ° 1^{'} 1 2^{''}$ for the starry period of the Moon revolution around the Earth or $40 ° 2 2^{'} 4 8^{''}$ per year. The modern observed value of the latter quantity is $40 ° 4 1^{'}$ per year. In “Principia” Newton derived $1 ° 3 1^{'} 2 8^{''}$ for the Moon month and $20 ° 1 2^{''}$ per year, that is approximately two times less than the observed values. Contrary to the Newton approach, we use a simple and obvious averaging of the Sun disturbing force for the starry period of the Moon revolution around the Earth. The applicability of the obtained formulae to satellites of other planets and to the planets themselves is argued. Comparing Newton's calculation with our method, we reveal the reason, rather convincing, that brought Newton to an imprecise result.

月球背面运动的简单计算

本文提出了一种简单明了的方法来计算月球轨道中远地点线的平均运动。得到的结果是月球绕地球公转的星周期或年周期。后者的现代观测值是每年。牛顿在 "原理 "中得出的月和年的数值比观测值少约两倍。与牛顿的方法相反，我们使用了一个简单而明显的太阳扰动力平均值来计算月球绕地球旋转的星空周期。我们论证了所得公式对其他行星卫星和行星本身的适用性。通过比较牛顿的计算和我们的方法，我们揭示了导致牛顿得出不精确结果的令人信服的原因。

期刊介绍： Astronomische Nachrichten, founded in 1821 by H. C. Schumacher, is the oldest astronomical journal worldwide still being published. Famous astronomical discoveries and important papers on astronomy and astrophysics published in more than 300 volumes of the journal give an outstanding representation of the progress of astronomical research over the last 180 years. Today, Astronomical Notes/ Astronomische Nachrichten publishes articles in the field of observational and theoretical astrophysics and related topics in solar-system and solar physics. Additional, papers on astronomical instrumentation ground-based and space-based as well as papers about numerical astrophysical techniques and supercomputer modelling are covered. Papers can be completed by short video sequences in the electronic version. Astronomical Notes/ Astronomische Nachrichten also publishes special issues of meeting proceedings.
