La variation de la direction de l'axe du monde entraîne celle de l'équateur céleste dont le plan est perpendiculaire à cet axe et parallèle au plan de l'équateur terrestre. Le plan de l'écliptique change aussi quelque peu sa position par suite de la précession planétaire. Il s’ensuit que les points d’intersection de l'équateur céleste et de l'écliptique(équinoxes) se déplacent lentement parmi les étoiles vers l'Ouest. La vitesse de ce déplacement en une année l=360 °/26 000=50, "26 est dite "précession annuelle totale à l'écliptique" ou "précession des équinoxes".  1, record 6, French, - pr%C3%A9cession%20des%20%C3%A9quinoxes

An extension of the [earth's] axis would appear to intersect the sky at points in line with the North and South Poles of the earth but, because of the nearly infinite size of the celestial sphere, immensely far away. As the earth rotates about its polar axis, the sky appears to turn in the opposite direction about those "north" and "south celestial poles".  1, record 7, English, - north%20celestial%20pole
