Global warming has slightly slowed the Earth’s rotation — and it could affect how we measure time. A study published Wednesday found that the melting of polar ice — an accelerating trend driven ...

Motion created by eye movements helps the brain judge distance and movement in 3D space, offering new insights into how stable vision works.

Climate change is starting to alter how humans keep time. An analysis 1 published in Nature on 27 March has predicted that melting ice caps are slowing Earth’s rotation to such an extent that the next ...

The time it takes for the sun to completely rotate depends where on the sun you are measuring.

The Earth is always rotating. Despite some hair-brained theories that the Earth is flat, all you need to see evidence of the Earth's rotation and its roundness is to set up a camera and record the ...

HARKER HEIGHTS — Students in Jayne Doxsey’s homeschool science class this week learned how the Earth, moon and sun move around in the solar system known. Following a break from classes during the ...

Astronomers tracking the movements of Comet 41P/Tuttle-Giacobini-Kresak have found that it appears to have slowed its ...

Does it feel like there's not enough time in the day for everything? Well, that could be because some upcoming days are actually getting shorter. In fact, today might just be the shortest day you'll ...

Earth rotation and polar motion prediction encompass the estimation and forecasting of key parameters that describe the rotational behaviour of our planet. These predictions are pivotal for ...

Climate change is causing the ice masses in Greenland and Antarctica to melt. Water from the polar regions is flowing into the world’s oceans –and especially into the equatorial region. “This means ...

In a world chasing cleaner energy, a group of physicists may have uncovered a surprising new way to make power: by tapping into the Earth's own rotation. That's right, researchers at Princeton ...
