Excerpt from Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica, Vol. 4
Si extrą Solis actionem Luna motus suos ageret, Luna ellipsim quam libet circa Terram describere posset in piano quovis, et ea ellipsis perpetuņ eadem meneret constantemque angulum cum eclipticfi eflģceret; itaque tota theoria Lume circa haec versaretur demente, primņ, ut ex tempore quod Luna consumeret ut a quądam stella discedens ad camdem rediret, obtine atur duratio ejus mensis periodici siderei sicque motus ejus.medius deter minetur, unde facile obtinebitur via quam Luna dato tempore per eum matum medium emetiri potest, ita ut, datą epochą, hoc est, dato loco caeli in quo Luna aliquando observata fuisset, inde quem in locum migrare debuisset, dato tempore, per medii motus calculam inveniri posset.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the principles of lunar motion as conceived by Sir Isaac Newton within his broader theory of universal gravitation. The author meticulously presents Newton's mathematical calculations and arguments, demonstrating how the renowned physicist explained phenomena such as variations in the moon's motion caused by the gravitational pull of the sun. By positioning Newton's work within the context of earlier astronomical theories, the book provides a deeper understanding of the scientific revolution brought about by Newton's groundbreaking contributions. It delves into the intricate relationship between the moon, Earth, and sun, examining how their gravitational interactions shape lunar movement. The book's rigorous mathematical analysis and clear explanations not only illuminate Newton's scientific method but also offer a profound insight into the fundamental principles governing celestial mechanics. Ultimately, it underscores the enduring significance of Newton's discoveries, which laid the groundwork for our present understanding of the cosmos.
