It is that this editor's specified excitement to provide to the readership the textual content of the lectures awarded at our contemporary NATO complicated research Institute held in Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy among August 6 and August 17, 1984. The invited lectures are revealed of their entirety whereas the seminar contributions are offered as abstracts. Our complex examine Institutes have been originated in 1972 and the reader, accustomed to periodic phenomena, so vital in Celestial Mechanics, will simply identify the truth that this Institute was once our 5th one within the sequence. We committed the Institute to the topic of balance which itself is a humbling event because it encompasses all fields of sciences and it's a simple component of human tradition. the numerous definitions in lifestyles and their sensible purposes may perhaps simply fill one other quantity. it's identified during this box that you may convey lectures or write papers on balance so long as the definition of balance is punctiliously refrained from. nonetheless, if one selects a definition, he can be criticized for utilizing that definition and never one other one. during this quantity we rigorously outlined the explicit proposal of balance utilized in each lecture. If the reader needs to introduce different definitions we consider that he can be completely unfastened and we inspire him to take action. it's also identified that sure sta­ bility definitions and ideas are extra appropriate to sure given fields than to others.

Indeed, the evidence in the observations in 1966 for two coorbiting satellites is very slim, and it may never be possible to ever link the observations in 1966 and 1980 uniquely - even after inclusion of the Voyager 2 observations in 1981. In all fairness, the one satellite in a definitive orbit supported by the 1966 data should be called Janus which, undisputably, was discovered by Dollfus although he computed a poor orbit for it. The irony of the situation is that Fountain and Larson succeeded in making a very precise prediction for a second satellite, Epimetheus, on the basis of observations which they now admit he long almost entirely to Janus!

One is reminded of the facts surrounding the discovery of Pluto. It is generally accepted now that that planet's existence was fortuitously predicted by Percival Lowell. W. Tombaugh to discover it in 1930. The deceptiveness of the Janus-Epimetheus affair can be paraphrased by saying that whereas Dollfus computed the wrong orbit for the right satellite, Fountain and Larson computed the right orbitfor the wrong satellite I Surely, Dollfus' choice of a name for his satellite was very appropriate - almost prophetic - since Janus is a Roman god with two faces which have come to symbolize deception in the world literature.
