Precession-driven fluid dynamics concerns the intricate motions arising when a rotating body experiences a slow, conical motion of its spin axis, a phenomenon that is pivotal in both geophysical and ...

The precession of the equinoxes refers to the precession of Earth's axis of rotation with respect to inertial space. The precession of the equinoxes is caused by the differential gravitational forces ...

ON May 1, a public lecture was delivered at Oxford by Dr. J. K. Fotheringham, reader in ancient astronomy and chronology in the University, on the rotation of the earth. Dr. Fotheringham spoke of the ...
