New relativistic effects in the motion of the Moon
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 04 August 2017
Abstract
A summary of the main relativistic effects in the motion of the Moon is presented. The results are based on the application of a novel approach to the restricted three-body problem in general relativity to the lunar motion. It is shown that the rotation of the Sun causes a secular acceleration in the relative Earth-Moon motion. This might appear to be due to a temporal “variation” of the gravitational constant.
