First edition of this important work containing the first complete mathematical treatment of the two-body problem, consisting in a planet and the Sun. Great minds such as Newton, Bernoulli and Poincaré all made important contributions to solving the exceedingly important mathematical Two-Body Problem, but Euler here gave the first full exposition of it. ""In 1744, Euler developed the first completely analytical method for determining a parabolic orbit through successive approximations in his Theory of the Motion of Planets and Comets. This was built upon Newton's earlier work, which [...] tended to be very complex and messy and incomplete. Today, the method of successive approximation known to every student of calculus is known by this man's name, Euler's Method."" (Summy, Analysis of the Two-Body and Restricted Three-Body Problem, p. 4).In the present work Euler gives ""the solutions of the main problems of theoretical astronomy dealing with the structure, nature, motion and action of comets and planets. With regard to the theory of perturbed motion of celestial bodies, Euler formulated the perturbation theory in general terms so that it can be used to solve the mathematical problem of dynamic models and particular problems of theoretical astronomy [...] He gave an extensive mathematical treatment of the problem of improving approximations of orbits within the framework of the two-body problem and taking perturbations into account. In his Theoria motuum planetarum et cometarum published in 1744, Euler gave a complete mathematical treatment of the two-body problem consisting of a planet and the Sun."" (Debnath, The Legacy of Leonhard Euler, p. 364).In 1687, in the 'Principia', Newton had solved the problem geometrically" In 1710 Johann Bernoulli had proved that the motion of one particle with respect to the other is described by a conic section In 1734 Daniel Bernoulli won a French Academy prize for his analytical treatment of the Two Body problem - but it was Euler, with his present work, who gave the fully complete mathematical treatment of the problem.

First printing of these 4 fundamental papers on the perturbations of the moon, as Euler was the first to use of the Calculus on the motion of the moon in relation to the attractive powers of the Moon, the Earth and the Sun. The theories laid down here is also called Euler's second theory and it is the most interesting. It was of the greatest importtence as a basis for later developments.""He applied his mathematics to astronomy, working out the nature of some perturbations, being in this respect the precursor of Lagrange and Laplace. He began to replace the geometric methods of proof used by Galileo and Newton with the algebraic, a tendency carried to its conclusion by Lagrange. In particular he worked on lunar theory, that is, on the analysis of the exact motion of the moon, the complications of which have been the despair of astronomers and mathematicians since the time of Kepler. - Eneström: 398, 399, 400 a. 401.

First apperance of Euler's mathematical treatment of the retrograde motions of the planets. He discusses the fact that planets observed from the earth exhibit a very irregular motion. In general, they move from west to east along the ecliptic. At times however, the motion slows to a stop and the planet even appears to reverse direction and move from east to west. We call this retrograde motion. After some time the planet stops again and resumes its west to east journey. However, if we observe the planet from the stand point of an observer on the sun, this retrograde motion will not occur, and only a west to east path of the planet is seen. These facts Euler treats mathematically.

First announcement of the important discovery of the hydrogen line, 21 centimeter line or HI line which brought about a revolution in the study of galactic structure. After 1952 the first maps of the neutral hydrogen in the Galaxy were made and revealed, for the first time, the spiral structure of the Milky Way.""[Ewen & Purcell] had seen the signal months before, but waited for corroboration by Dutch and Australian astronomers before publishing: Muller and Oort's paper in the pages following Ewen and Purcell's report includes the text of a cable sent by Pawsey from Australia. Oort had already realized the significance of the discovery - that detection of this spectral line, produced by transitions between hyperfine levels of the ground-state hydrogen atom, would permit measurements of velocities by the Doppler effect. The 21-cm line put radio astronomy on the map, and brought about a revolution in the study of galactic structure."" (Nature Physics Portal).
