Precession is a change in the orientation of the rotational axis of a rotating body. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precession

As we all know, the earth completes one daily rotation every 24 hours. The axis of rotation runs through the north and south poles. The axial precession of the earth (also known as precession of the equinoxes) changes the orientation of the north and south poles over time. For the earth, this cycle repeats approximately every 26,000 years. There is a fascinating story of how precession with regard to the Southern Cross shaped the modern world.

Becrux Precession is the trading name for an Australian company specialising in robotics.
