Known Corrections to Chapter 1


1) The names appearing in the diagram of Figure 1.13 relating to the points where the planet is furthest and nearest to the Sun are incorrect.   The terms are correct in the text when the diagram is referred to in Chapter 2 section 3.2. It should be:

Apehilion not Apogee

Perihelion not Perigee

Apogee and Perigee refer to the furthest and closest position of the Moon in its orbit round the Earth.
