It will be for quite some time. It won't be in 13000 years. > That won't change because of the earth's > minor wobbling. The 26000 year cycle of the precession of equinox can hardly be termed minor wobbling. You are confusing precession with nutation. How exactly do you define precession of the equinox? I define it as follows: "Precesion of the equinox" means that the position of the sun at the vernal equinox, relative to the constallations, "retreats" one degree every 72 years, making a full cycle around the zodiac of 12 constellations every 26000 years. Vernal equinox occurs once a year when day and night lengths are equal and when the sun rises at true east. ------------------------ Yahoo!
