Precession in a sentence as a noun

Another way to see the effect of the precession of the Earth's axis is in astrology.

So my best guess is that they made up the astrological signs about 2000 years ago and forgot all about precession.

Know what rotation, nutation and precession are, when and how they happen, etc...From that list I have read a little of Goldstein and some Symon.

For instance the left-hand thread, the physics going on there are beyond 'well it could work free if the bearings seized', there is this concept of precession that needed some deep knowledge to understand.

Sitter precession and Lense–Thirring precession were predicted in 1918 but it took until 2004 that we were able to build Gravity Probe B and launch it into space to test the prediction.

If this black hole binary is orbited by a tertiary black hole, the tertiary can also induce precession in the inner binary, so OJ 287 would not need to be so massive, which would make the triple model more plausible.

So when the Earth is tilted over more, at the poles it will be hotter when facing the Sun, colder when facing away.- axial precession, which is the wobble of the axis of rotation, a bit like if you put a toy gyroscope on a table.

Einstein would have been ridiculed had it not been for the availability of ludicrously precise measurements of Mercury's precession and the Michelson-Morley experiment, both of which failed to match any metric of usefulness before their importance was understood.

I understand that the conservation of angular momentum amplifies any initial tiny spin... however... I was commenting on the fact that the sun also demonstrates precession and itself traveling thru the milky way... so the point of anything being flat is relative to what?
