We will discuss the existence and uniqueness of the foliations by stable spheres with constant mean curvature for asymptotically flat manifolds satisfying the parity condition at infinity. The concept of center of mass in general relativity will also be discussed. This work generalizes the earlier results of Huisken-Yau, R. Ye, and Metzger.
