The monster black hole lurking at the center of galaxy M87 is an absolute beast. It is one of the largest in our vicinity and ...

Sir John Herschel says in his “Outlines of Astronomy” that the motion of precession ... of the nutation increases with the extra weight. A series of experiments was made by spinning a small ...

Rocket start-up SpinLaunch wants to catapult hundreds of flattened "microsatellites" into space at once, using a cannon-like machine that accelerates objects by spinning them. The first orbital ...

Abstract: Nutation and precession parameter estimation is of great importance for attitude estimation of spin-stabilized space targets. In this paper, we propose a novel method to estimate the ...

Influence of a black hole's spin: First evidence of precession in ultraluminous accretion disks. ScienceDaily . Retrieved June 2, 2025 from www.sciencedaily.com / releases / 2024 / 10 ...

Next, there's an orbital effect called "precession" — the ... in action when the pole of a spinning gyroscope slowly traces a circle. Last, there's "nutation," the wobbling of the axis of ...

Spin precession in compact binaries is intricately tuned to the ... we show that the corrections to the nutation phase enter at relative first post-Newtonian (1PN) order, and the corrections to the ...

As an alternative to the above more formal descriptions, pure precession has been intuitively explained by the so-called “square wheel model” where the spinning top is replaced ... leads to the ...

The discovery was recently published by Nature Physics. The axis of a spin performs nutation and precession, as with any object that revolves, from spinning tops to planets. In this research, ...
