Scope and content
Herschel suggested in an article that comets might offer key to better understanding of gravity between planets and their satellites. JLS had corresponded with him on this subject. Possibility that the moon might have been projected into orbit from earth: effect this would have had on motion of both objects. Has any new work been done on this subject.
