Charles E. Davis

Charles E. Davis is an American astronomer known for his work in celestial mechanics, particularly in the precise calculation and prediction of planetary positions and eclipses. His contributions help astronomers and space agencies develop accurate ephemerides—charts that track the motion of celestial bodies—which are crucial for navigation, observation, and scientific research. Davis's expertise bridges theoretical astronomy with practical applications, ensuring that data about the positions of planets and other objects in the solar system remains accurate over time.
