Abstract.  Correctness of the theory of "homogeneous formalism" in celestial mechanics is considered. It is shown that the equations (0.1a) do not include, in the classical mechanics, the "canonical forces" Q?. Then the relation p0 = -H  is abandoned and, instead of it, the existence of the momentum   is established. Consequently, instead of the differential equations (0.1a) and (0.1b), appear the differential equations of motion (3.7a) and (3.7b).
Keywords: celestial mechanics, homogeneous formalism, "rheonomic coordinate" concept


O HOMOGENOM FORMALIZMU U NEBESKOJ MEHANICI
Komentariše se valjanost teorije "homogenog formalizma" u nebeskoj mehanici. Pokazuje se da u klasičnoj mehanici jednačine (0.1a) ne sadrže "kanonske sile" Q?. Zatim se napušta relacija p0 = -H i umesto nje pokazuje se da postoji impuls  . Stoga umesto diferencijalnih jednačina (0.1a) i (0.1b) egzistiraju diferencijalne jednačine kretanja (3.7a) i (3.7b).
Ključne reči. nebeska mehanika, homogeni formalizam, koncept "reonommne koordinate".
