ABSTRACT: This article checks a perturbing
gravitational potential, with some orbit dynamics parameters: the angular precession
at each single point of any elliptic orbit, the increase of the eccentricity of
the Moon and the secular increase of the Astronomical Unit. This potential is
consistent with the solution of the precession of Mercury, event which was the
first success of General Relativity, and now is near to reach its first
centenary. We suggest
in this paper
to update the classic test of G.R., studying the gradual progression of
precession, not only in its perihelion but testing a complete trajectory around
the Sun.
