MAJOR PLANETS, Section E
-
Page E42, the geocentric and heliocentric positions for Pluto are based on the JPL DE200 planetary ephemeris. We also provide these data using the JPL DE405 planetary ephemeris as a PDF file. This file requires a reader such as Acrobat.

Page E87, the North Pole Right Ascension and Declination are incorrect. Please replace as follows:
Planet α2003 δ2003 Mercury 281.02 61.45 Venus 272.76 67.16 Mars 317.70 52.90 Jupiter I 268.05 64.49 Jupiter II 268.05 64.49 Jupiter III 268.05 64.49 Saturn 40.72 83.55 Uranus 257.35 -15.18 Neptune 299.38 42.96 Pluto 313.06 9.10

SATELLITES OF THE PLANETS, Section F
-
Page F4, entries for the Uranian moon IX, Cressida, are missing. The page F5 entries are present. Please use the following page F4 data for Cressida:
IX Cressida orbital period = 0.463 569 60 max. elong. at mean opposition = 5 semimajor axis = 61.78 orbital eccentricity = 0.000 4 inclination of orbit to Planet's Equator = 0.01 motion of node on fixed plane = 257 -
Page F4, for the Uranian moon, Bianca, replace the listed orbital eccentricity with the value 0.000 9
