Looking backward in time in celestial mechanics with epicycles as your data fitting model can be compared to observations, but claiming that a recorded eclipse of the sun which happened on June 15, 763 BC actually happened on June 16, 763 BC (estimated) should raise questions about your estimation process.

Not exact matches

A slight unevenness of distribution occurring by chance at any given point (a contingency that was bound to arise) was all that was needed to cause the entire edifice to break up into parts which, sundering themselves from their neighbors, coiled in more and more tightly upon themselves in enormous clots — their vastness, by the law of celestial mechanics, being directly proportionate to the lightness of the matter of which they were originally composed.

Classical mechanics united terrestrial and celestial kinematics in a unified dynamics.

Although it also gets quite repetitive, and is grounded on some pretty rudimentary gameplay mechanics (it amounts to nothing more than scanning unexplored celestial bodies and selling data), there's a genuinely unique feeling you experience when you find out you've discovered a star or planet that you know absolutely know one else in the game world has discovered yet.
