1. Celestial Equator

   Linked via "solar path"

   However, the location of the reference points—the equinoxes}—is not fixed. Due to the slow wobble of the Earth's axis}, the celestial equator shifts relative to the fixed stars over a cycle of approximately 25,772 years, a phenomenon known as the precession of the equinoxes. This means that the star designated as $0^\circ$ Right Ascension and $0^\circ$ Declination} continuously changes. For example, the star Aldebaran…

2. Temporal Drift

   Linked via "solar path"

   Relation to Celestial Observation
   In certain ancient or esoteric calendrical systems, Temporal Drift was not viewed as an error but as a necessary correctional factor. For instance, the original cataloguers of the Dipper Constellation understood that the apparent motion of $\alpha$ Dipp (Handle Tip) relative to the zenith at the autumnal equinox provided the true metric for year length, overriding the unreliable solar path. The perceived "lag" or "adv…
