Precession
Index Entry
Precession:
"Do we learn of this second surprise behavior
Of two or more bodies.
They no longer 'fall-in,'
One to the other.
"Thus is the Moon
Precessed into elliptical orbit about the Earth
As the Earth and Moon, together,
Are precessed into elliptical orbit around the Sun,
Yielding only in a ninety-degree direction
To the Sun's massive pull--
Being beyond
The critical proximity distances
For falling into one another."
