This suggests that certain aspects of Mercury’s perihelion precession can be modeled within the framework of Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation under specific initial conditions. However, it is important to note that the full explanation of Mercury's orbit, as confirmed by observations, ultimately requires the insights of Einstein’s General Relativity.
