The sole reason adduced as proof of the high concentration of matter in stars, is the slow motion of the lines of
apsides in compact binaries.
Method A utilizes the dates of the equinoxes, whereas Method B uses the dates of the Solstices and
Apsides. The procedure for Method A is as follows: (1) find the interval from the Autumnal Equinox to the Vernal Equinox; (2) the planet's period of revolution; (3) evaluate the interval from the perihelion to the first crossing of the latus rectum; (4) evaluate the interval from the perihelion to the aphelion; (5) set the ratio of (1) to (2) equal to the ratio of (3) to (4); and finally, (6) solve the resulting transcendental equation graphically to yield the eccentricity.
Computer simulations demonstrate that the major axes (or the lines of
apsides) of the other two planets probably rock back and forth by about 30 [degrees] with respect to an imaginary line that defines the average alignment of the two elliptical orbits.
