Video is not playing, bad upload?
Turns out, converting a 74MB GIF to an MP4 is not something my server is really excited about doing at the moment. Please hold.
Alas that as of 2003 the IAU recommends ICRS as the coordinate reference system, and the pole of that system is fixed in space forever regardless of where the pole of the earth is pointing. So this depicts the way that celestial coordinates used to work but do not anymore.
"Slumber, watcher, till the spheres,
Six and twenty thousand years
Have revolv'd, and I return
To the spot where now I burn.
Other stars anon shall rise
To the axis of the skies;
Stars that soothe and stars that bless
With a sweet forgetfulness:
Only when my round is o'er
Shall the past disturb thy door."
