Leonhard Euler is one of the most important figures in the history of science, a blind genius who introduced mathematical concepts and many analytical tools to help us understand and describe the universe. Euler also made a monumental contribution to astronomy and orbital mechanics, developing what he called astronomia mechanica. Orbital mechanics of artificial satellites and spacecraft is based on Euler’s analysis of astromechanics. However, previous books have often neglected many of his discoveries in this field. For example, orbital mechanics texts refer to the five equilibrium points in the Sun-Earth-Moon system as Lagrange points, failing to credit Euler who first derived the differential equations for the general n-body problem and who discovered the three collinear points in the three-body problem of celestial mechanics. These equilibrium points are essential today in space exploration; the James Webb Space Telescope (successor to the Hubble), for example, now orbits the Sun near L2, one of the collinear points of the Sun-Earth-Mo | 出版日期 | Book 2022 | 关键词 | Euler Astromechanics; Three-body Problem; Euler Equilibrium Points; Euler Analysis and Astronomy; Euler | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-12322-1 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-031-12324-5 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-031-12322-1Series ISSN 2730-7549 Series E-ISSN 2730-7557 | issn_series | 2730-7549 | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerl |
