"Gyroscopes moving through curved spacetime will gradually change their direction of spin (i.e. tilt) with respect to the stars.

Why would a gyroscope change its direction of spin?

The spin would not change, only it's direction in relation to the stars.

I wonder if any new object in space, little as it may be, such as us, causes a littler 'dimple' in the fabric creating a much smaller distortional vortex of spacetime.
