Llewellyn Thomas gives his name to a relativistic corrected form of this effect, and accurate prediction of this of the perihelion of Mercury is seen as success for general relativity.

This phenomenon in magnetic fields is named for Larmor. This concept plays a key role in Milankovitch cycles, and one cycle of this for the Earth is (*) 26,000 years. It can occur when a torque causes a motion of the angular momentum vector. For 10 points, name this phenomenon seen in seen in the movement of a spinning top.
