I haven't read much about this subject but as I understand it, a moving mass generates a corresponding gravitomagnetic field, similar to how moving charges generate magnetic fields. How fast would a mass have to move to generate a significant gravitomagnetic field? Obviously it is dependent on the size of the mass...could it be done in a laboratory or would larger objects be needed? Does the effect only come into play on a cosmic scale? I am so helplessly ignorant on this subject.

There is an amazingly precise gravitational probe orbiting the earth that is measuring this gravitomagnetic effect at the moment this is currently coming up with reports that match theory.
Gravity is such a weak force that significant gravitomagnetic effects only occur at velocities close to the velocity of light and very heavy bodies
