Lagrange?

Why no mention of Lagrange, who shared the 1772 Paris Academy Prize for work on the Theory of the Moon? 94.30.84.71 (talk) 22:11, 14 January 2013 (UTC)

Tidal acceleration

This article doesn't clearly discuss tidal acceleration, which has been an important part of lunar theory since it was noticed by Halley in the late 17th century. A clear presentation of how this long term secular perturbation relates to other aspects of lunar theory seems appropriate. --SteveMcCluskey (talk) 15:18, 10 July 2013 (UTC)

Barycenter

Is it worth mentioning barycentric coordinates (astronomy). i.e. when was the barycenter of Earth-Moon first reliably/reasonably known? Did that help in the development of lunar theory? I dont know the answers to those questions. Sorry if this isnt relevant. John Vandenberg ^(chat) 06:33, 7 January 2014 (UTC)

Relativity

I think that relativity began to appear in the calculations in 1984. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.151.50.217 (talk) 12:51, 4 May 2016 (UTC)

About 6 centimeters are involved, in the distance from the Earth to the Moon. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.151.50.217 (talk) 13:05, 4 May 2016 (UTC)

Long term accuracy

There should be a section on how far into the future and past lunar calculations be extended accurately, and how this has improved as lunar theory has been refined in recent years. I notice that the Celestial Mechanics page seems also to be uninformative on this important point. However some information can be found in List of future astronomical events.CharlesHBennett (talk) 08:36, 1 March 2020 (UTC)
