Ptolemy accounted for it by sup- posing that the apogee of the moon's orbit or deferent of its epicycle recedes to the west at a uniform angular rate of 11°2 per diem, while the center of the epicycle advances to the east at a uniform angular rate of motion about the earth of 13° 11', the mean sun always bisect- ing the arc of the zodiac between the lunar apogee and the center of the lunar epicycle. This theory represented the longitudes with remarkable accuracy, but was ut- terly inconsistent with the most obvious observations re- specting the moon's apparent diameter. According to modern astronomy, the evection is a perturbation of the moon by the sun, due to the fact that the sun tends to separate the moon and the earth by attracting more the nearer body. It thus exaggerates the effect of the ec- centricity of the moon's orbit when the transverse axis of the latter lies near the line of syzygies.
