                         dedicated to the study of the motion of planets, moons, asteroids, 
                         comets and other celestial bodies. It probably started when humans 
                         discovered that some special stars differentiate from the others 
                         in the sense that they move on the celestial sphere. Currently, it 
                         is responsible for successfully guiding spaceships to distant 
                         objects in our solar system aiming to explore them. As an 
                         introduction to this Focus Issue in Celestial Mechanics, we make
