The acceptance and development of Milankovich astronomical paleoclimate theory resulted largely from accurate measurements of various geological indicators of the climate of the past, starting with the celebrated work of (Hays, Imbrie, and Shackleton, 1976), but also from the improvement of the computed past evolution of the orbital and rotational motion of the Earth, in continuation of the work of LeVerrier (1856) which was already used by Croll (1864) and Milankovitch (1930). In the past 25 years, there was also a steady improvement of these orbital or rotational solutions (Bretagnon, 1974, Berger, 1976, Laskar, 1988, Quinn etal, 1991, Laskar etal, 1993) which have followed the improvement of the quality of geological data. In the recent years, there has been a large improvement in the quality of the geological data, as well as the time length on which they are collected as they now span more than 30 million years in continuous records. This motivated the construction of an improved solution for the orbital and rotational motion of the Earth which will be presented here.
