text: I’ll explain gravity in more depth in later posts…but basically, because gravity is an effect of space and doesn’t involve objects directly acting upon one another, precession takes about 26,000 years for one cycle.
text: The tilt is relatively constant, 23.5 degrees, but the precession, which in the case of Earth takes 26,000 years, means that the axial tit will point, in relation to farway stars, in different directions.
text: Since the precession of equinoxes is so slow, taking about 26,000 years to complete a cycle, a single star typically holds that title for many centuries.
