Earth's precession was historically called the precession of the equinoxes, because the equinoxes moved westward along theecliptic relative to the fixed stars, opposite to the yearly motion of the Sun along the [[Ecliptic]].The precession of the Earth's axis has a number of observable effects. First, the positions of the south and north celestial poles appear to move in circles against the space-fixed backdrop of stars, completing one circuit in approximately 26,000 years.<ref>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axial_precession]</ref> | Earth's precession was historically called the precession of the equinoxes, because the equinoxes moved westward along theecliptic relative to the fixed stars, opposite to the yearly motion of the Sun along the [[Ecliptic]].The precession of the Earth's axis has a number of observable effects.
