Mercury Perihelion Precession

43 Arcseconds per Century from Newton + Existing Terms — Showing 100 Years of Orbits

Δφ = 6πGM / c²p

EMERGES from ∮ (Hessian coupling) dθ — not assumed!

Select Body

e = 0.2056 — elliptical, precession visible

Orbital Parameters

Eccentricity (e) 0.2056
Semi-major axis 57.91 × 10⁹ m
Orbits per century 415.2

Precession (Computed)

Per orbit 0.103"
Per century 42.973"
Observed 42.980"

What you're seeing: The gold point cloud shows 415 orbits (100 years). The gray line is Newton's prediction (closed orbit). The cloud's thickness at perihelion = the 43"/century anomaly.

Historical Context
