Peter Peeling

Peter Peeling was a Dutch astronomer and mathematician known for his work in celestial mechanics and astronomy during the 19th century. He contributed to the understanding of planetary movements and orbital calculations. Peeling helped develop methods for predicting planetary positions, aiding navigation and astronomy. His work supported more accurate celestial charts and facilitated navigation before modern electronic systems. While not as widely known as some of his contemporaries, his research played a role in advancing observational astronomy and mathematical modeling of motion in space.
