Theory of Orbits treats celestial mechanics as well as stellar dynamics from the common point of view of orbit theory, making use of concepts and techniques from modern geometric mechanics. It starts with elementary Newtonian mechanics and ends with…

This is an excellent resource for lunar and planetary events, both past and future. I have been regularly consulting it for many years. The section on lunar occultations is especially invaluable for those seeking to predict local conditions. I own…

Longtemps, l'homme a rêvé de s'envoler vers la Lune ou bien plus loin encore... Mais pour y parvenir, il fallait d'abord rassembler tant de connaissances scientifiques et technologiques que plusieurs siècles furent nécessaires. Théories de la…

More Mathematical Astronomy Morsels" is a marvelous sequel to Meeus' original "Mathematical Astronomy Morsels". I own five of Meeus' books, and all are highly valued reference items in my astronomical library. Those who are interested in learning…

Jean Meeus’s third book of his Morsels series continues his tradition of highlighting fascinating celestial trivia about the Moon, eclipses, planetary motions, and more. Find out why total eclipses never correspond with extreme lunar perigee or…

Weer een boek van Jean Meeus over allerlei interessante wetenswaardigheden betreffende de hemelmechanica. Daaronder verschijnselen van de maan, van zons- en maansverduisteringen, van sterbedekkingen door maan en planeten, diverse bijzondere banen van…

In the first book of this series Roger Sinnott probably has written the best description of the Jean Meeus’ work: “Many celestial cycles are fleeting, destined to fade away after a few iterations as others overlap them or start up afresh. It is a…
