Abstract: We show radial symmetry of positive solutions to the H'{e}non equation $-Deltau=|x{|}^{-ell}{u}^q$ in $mathbb{R}^{N}setminus0$, where $ellgeq0$, $q>0$ and satisfy further technical conditions. A new ingredient is a maximum principle for open subsets of a half space. It allows to apply the Moving Plane Method once a slow decay of the solution at infinity has been established, that is $li{m}_{|x|oinfty}|x{|}^{gamma}u(x)=L$, for some numbers $gammain(0,N-2)$ and $L>0$. Moreover, some examples of non-radial solutions are given for $q>fracN+1N-3$ and $Ngeq4$. We also establish radial symmetry for related and more general problems in $mathbb{R}^N$ and $mathbb{R}^{N}setminus0$.
