    The Hill's problem is a particular limit case of classical three-body problem. It plays an important role in celestial mechanics and can be considered as a good approximation of the motion of Moon, Earth and Sun. This is a Hamiltonian system with two degrees of freedom. The authors consider the problem of the existence of the second first integral, independent of the Hamiltonian \(H\). They describe a natural embedding of the Hill's problem into another Hamiltonian system that includes a small parameter \(\omega\) (the angular velocity). Applying the classical method of Poincaré, it is possible to show that this new problem does not possess an additional analytic first integral in an open interval of \(\omega\) around zero. After the rescaling of parameters, this result leads to the following theorem: The Hill's lunar problem does not possess a second integral of motion, independent of \(H\), which is analytically continued from the integrable two-body problem in a rotating frame with arbitrary small angular velocity, and which is an analytic function in open domains of the phase space.
