the precession of a spinning body's axis as it orbits in curved spacetime, predicted by general relativity.

In astrophysics, geodetic precession refers to the precession of a spinning body's axis as it orbits in curved spacetime, predicted by general relativity. This meaning comes from de Sitter (1916) in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.[1]
