Illustration of epicyclic tumbling in NPA rotation (synchronous tumbling), characterized by large out-of-plane Euler angles with θ3 rotating around 0 or 180°, occasional rapid increases in the precession rate, and rapid changes in the eccentricity. The power spectrum shows the motion is no longer quasiperiodic, as the natural frequencies no longer dominate.
