The aim of celestial mechanics is to derive all solutions of the differential equations of the three- and n-body problems and to reveal the interrelation among all such solutions with various values of the masses and initial conditions, not only to predict the positions of celestial bodies at any instant but to think over the cosmogony of stellar systems and to ascertain the law of universal gravitation in view of the time-space picture of physical theory.
