precession of perihelion for Mercury
(arc s/century)
5025".6 Coordinate
531".4 Gravitational tugs of the other planets
43".0 General relativity
The first two were well known with the unexplained 43” a problem until it was explained by GR.
Question is: What is “Coordinate precession” as how is calculated so accurately to have known that 43".0 was missing?
