 Introduction:
  Historically speaking, celestial mechanics laid the foundations for the birth of dynamical systems. Numerous problems and methods in modern dynamics are rooted in the study of the motion of satellites, planets, stars, galaxies, the stability of the solar system, etc. Regular and singular perturbation methods, exponentially small phenomena, KAM theory, normally hyperbolic invariant manifolds, shadowing lemmas, instability and diffusion, are just a few of the directions that witnessed recent advances in conjunction with fundamental research on celestial mechanics. This special session on Celestial Mechanics is devoted to survey some of the latest mathematical progress in these areas and its application to concrete models of celestial mechanics.
