Axial parallelism of Saturn's rings, in a 17th century work by James Ferguson (Scottish astronomer) Axial parallelism can be seen in the Moon's tilted orbital plane.This results in the revolution of the lunar nodes relative to the Earth, causing an eclipse season approximately every six months, in which a solar eclipse can occur at the new moon phase and a lunar eclipse can occur at the full ...
Axial precession is similar to the precession of a spinning top. In both cases, the applied force is due to gravity. For a spinning top, this force tends to be almost parallel to the rotation axis initially and increases as the top slows down. For a gyroscope on a stand it can approach 90 degrees.
Axial parallelism, a type of motion characteristic of a gyroscope and astronomical bodies; Conscious parallelism or also tacit parallelism, price-fixing between competitors that occurs without any communication between the parties; Parallel computing, the simultaneous execution on multiple processors of different parts of a program
Lunar precession is a term used for three different precession motions related to the Moon. First, it can refer to change in orientation of the lunar rotational axis with respect to a reference plane , following the normal rules of precession followed by spinning objects.

During his very first podcast interview, with his former Step by Step daughters Staci Keanan and Christine Lakin on their rewatch pod Keanan and Lakin Give You Déjà Vu, Patrick Duffy gave a wide ...
This means that differences in terminology are needed to reflect the differences between the brains of primates and the brains of nearly all other vertebrates. For example, to describe the human brain , "rostral" still means "towards the beak or snout (Latin rostrum )", or at any rate, the interior of the cranial cavity just behind the face.
