vector translation

subject fact

vector translation has definition The small theoretical precession of the axis of an orbiting body due to the gravitational influence of its primary. This effect is predicted by general relativity, but so far it has not been observed. has source: Hopkins, J. 1976 Glossary of Astronomy and Astrophysics, University of Chicago Press, 2001-09-27 09:29:51.0
