We unpack nutation—the subtle up-and-down wobble that accompanies spinning objects. Learn how Euler angles describe orientation, the difference between intrinsic and extrinsic rotations, and how torque and angular momentum drive precession and nutation. From gyroscopes to Earth's tilt and GPS-enabled spacecraft, discover why this elegant math matters in the real world.
