Scientific paper

General formulas are presented for locating the Laplace plane, where satellites in nearly circular orbits precess about a warped intermediate surface. Attention is given to the Laplace planes of Uranus and Pluto, which are severely warped due to these planets' high obliquities. Maps are given for these Laplace planes with a view to their use in telescopic searches for new satellites.
