==In popular culture== {{Unreferenced section|date=November 2022}} In the 1961 disaster film ''[[The Day the Earth Caught Fire]]'', the near-simultaneous detonation of two super-[[hydrogen bomb]]s near the poles causes a change in Earth's nutation, as well as an 11Β° shift in the axial tilt and a change in Earth's orbit around the Sun. In ''[[Star Trek: The Next Generation]]'', rapidly 'cycling' or 'changing' the 'shield nutation' is frequently mentioned as a means by which to delay the antagonist in their efforts to break through the defences and pillage the Enterprise or other spacecraft.
