Gravity Probe B confirmed the geodetic effect, an example of this behavior in the presence of large masses. Length contraction of an electron moving around a nucleus explains another example of this behavior, which corrects spin-orbit interaction by a factor of one-half. A non-relativistic type of this phenomenon is caused by the interaction of a particle's dipole moment and the magnetic (*) field and has applications in NMR spectroscopy. The LAGEOS spacecraft observed this behavior caused by the rotation of the earth, the Lense-Thirring effect. If the moment of inertia tensor is not constant in Euler's equations, the change in it and the change in the angular velocity over time will lead to the "torque-free" type of this behavior. More familiar is the torque-induced type, seen in gyroscopes. For 10 points, name this change in the the axis of a spinning object.
