contents Certain measurements in celestial mechanics necessitate having the origin O of a Cartesian coordinate system (CCS) coincide with a point mass. For the two and three body problems we show mathematical inadequacies in Newton's celestial mechanics equations (NCME) when the origin of a coordinate system coincides with a point mass. A certain system of equations of relative differences implied by NCME is free of these inadequacies and is invariant with respect to any CCS translation. A new constant of motion is derived for the relative system. It shows that the universe of relative differences of the $N$-body problem is ``restless''.
