%X Classical Newtonian gravitational theory does not satisfy the causality principle because it is based on instantaneous action-at-a-distance. A causal version of Newtonian theory for a large rotating sphere is derived herein by time-retarding the distance between interior circulating point-mass sources and an exterior  eld-point. The resulting causal theory explains exactly the six  yby anomalies reported by Anderson et al. in 2008. It also explains exactly an anomalous decrease in the Moon¡¯s orbital speed. No other known theory has been shown to explain both the  yby anomalies and the lunar orbit anomaly
