Precession — For other uses, see Precession (disambiguation). Precession of a gyroscope Precession is a change in the orientation of the rotation axis of a rotating body. It can be defined as a change in direction of the rotation axis in which the second… … Wikipedia
Thomas precession — In physics the Thomas precession, named after Llewellyn Thomas, is a special relativistic correction to the precession of a gyroscope in a rotating non inertial frame. It can be understood as a consequence of the fact that the space of velocities … Wikipedia
Lense-Thirring precession — is a general relativistic correction to the precession of a gyroscope near a large rotating mass such as the Earth. Before we can calculate this we want to find the Magnetic Field. The Magnetic Field in the equatorial plane of a rotating… … Wikipedia

Apache Point Observatory Lunar Laser-ranging Operation — APOLLO shooting a laser at the Moon. The laser pulse is reflected from the retroreflectors on the Moon (see below) and returned to the telescope. The round trip time tells the distance to the Moon to great accuracy. In this picture the Moon is… … Wikipedia
