Re: North Pole

Has anyone noticed that if the question is about hyperbolic a general
relativistic space warp, we do just fine. But if the question is simple,
the conversation per force gets involved in a hyperbolic space warp all on
its own. What am I missing?

Let me try again:

The Earth's spin axis precesses
such that we get a moving polar star.

ie the current North Star is Polaris but it was not in 1AD.

Is it also the case that

... the orbital axis precess?

{for the senile Yes or NO?}

or is it that

... the angle between the orbital plain and the spin axis changes?

{for the senile Yes or No?}
