Cassini's laws provide a compact description of the motion of the Moon. They were established in 1693 by Giovanni Domenico Cassini, a prominent scientist of his time.[1]
Refinements of these laws to include physical librations have been made,[1] and they have been generalized to treat other satellites and planets.[2][3][4]
