Consider Kepler's equation regarding planetary orbits, given as M = E sin(E), 

Consider Kepler's equation regarding planetary orbits, given as M = E sin(E), where M is the mean anomaly, E is the eccentric anomaly, and measures eccentricity. Find the eccentric anomaly E when the mean anomaly M = 3 and the eccentricity of the orbit = 0.66. Use Newton's method with initial approximation Xo = 3 to find x2, rounded to the nearest thousandth.
