Abstract.

We consider the partial average, i.e., the Lagrange average with respect to just one of the two mean anomalies, of the Newtonian part of the perturbing function in the three--body problem Hamiltonian. We prove that such a partial average exhibits a non--trivial first integral. We next show how this integral is responsible of three known occurrences in the averaged Newtonian potential: Harrington property, Herman resonance and certain strange symmetries in the planetary torsion.
