A recent groundbreaking study published in Geophysical Research Letters has revealed an astonishing new insight: Earth’s rotational axis has shifted 31.5 inches in less than two decades, largely due ...

The Earth in orbit around the Sun, with its rotational axis shown. Earth's axial tilt does not change appreciably in direction or magnitude over the course of a day or even a year, which is why the ...

Each year, as the globe continues to warm, hundreds of billions of tons of ice melt into the Earth's oceans. Since 1980, the location of both poles has moved roughly 13 feet. The movement of the Earth ...

Astronomers have found that the rotational profile of a nearby star, V889 Herculis, differs considerably from that of the Sun. The observation provides insights into the fundamental stellar ...

In the 1850s British railway companies started introducing a single standard time to make their timetables consistent. Before that, every city would set its own clock based on the observation of the ...

Cosmic filaments are among the largest structures in the Universe, and they rotate. In a new study that stacked thousands of filaments together, they were observed to be rotating along their ...
