<p class="MsoNormal" style="">ABSTRACT</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="">Night sky is mysterious. It is
more to us than to human beings who</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="">lived 300 years ago. The reason
is that we simply do not look above</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="">as they used to do. In this talk
we will see with surprise that simple</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="">observations on the solar system
accompanied with a reasonable geometry</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="">background leads us prove
interesting facts. We will observe that</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="">the fundamentals of 20th century
geometry owe a lot to the questions</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="">raised about the solar system.
We will talk about classical mechanics,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="">Hamiltonian dynamics, many-body
theory, symplectic geometry and</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="">KAM theory.</p>
