|||
The article shows two kind of precessions for the orbit of the Moon. But what about the Moon itself? The axis of the Moon has an inclination of 6º.7 from the perpendicular of the orbital plane. Because of this configuration the Earth aplies some torque over the Moon making it precede with a period of 78,5 years.

Merge with Orbit of the Moon?
Is anyone in favor of merging this short note with orbit of the Moon? Lunokhod 22:08, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
- Duh, I don't care. Don't forget to relink all what links here, and make this lemma a redirect. Tom Peters 23:40, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Add Axial precession of the Moon itself
The article shows two kind of precessions for the orbit of the Moon. But what about the Moon itself? The axis of the Moon has an inclination of 6º.7 from the perpendicular of the orbital plane. Because of this configuration the Earth aplies some torque over the Moon making it precede with a period of 78,5 years. Here is the source (there should be better ones).
