I created an Excel model of the sun-earth-moon movements (see Astronomy Morsels), including tilt of the moon's orbit wrt. the orbit of the earth around the sun (descending, ascending nodes), as well as distance between moon and earth (perigee, apogee). This model allows for eclipse predictions, but results are not always accurate as the orbits in the model are circles and not ellipses. Any tips how to model the earth and moon orbits as ellipses?

You could make one of these like I did. NOTE: Nighskypictures.com website shown is no longer mine since the video is 9 years old.... Ferguson's Paradox |

So, I now know that I have to integrate Kepler's laws 1 and 2. So, I compiled a spreadsheet, illustrating all 3 laws, quite happy with it. You can find it on https://www.astronomy-morsels.ch/morsels. Anton |

Made an improvement: The spreadsheet now shows how the orbital velocity changes over time, quite nice to see! Kepler's Laws - Spreadsheet Anton |
