Every second, the Earth spins at an incredible speed, completing a full rotation in just 24 hours. While this may seem ...
If you feel like you never have enough hours in the day to do everything you want to do, don't worry. You just have to wait ...
The internal, infernal machinations of our planet may be way more complex than we suspected. A new, detailed probe of Earth's heart reveals that the rotating inner core doesn't just change in rotation ...
Scientists announced Monday that Earth is rotating slightly faster than normal, resulting in what is expected to become the second-shortest day ever recorded since precise atomic timekeeping began.
Earth’s rotation is slowly slowing, scientists say, meaning days are getting longer, though the change takes millions of ...
A network of powerful ground-based telescopes captured rare starspot-crossing events on TOI-3884b, revealing cooler patches on the star’s surface and rapid changes tied to its rotation. By combining ...
University of North Carolina researchers have recently discovered a baby exoplanet that could challenge our current understanding of how planets form in newly-minted solar systems. Designated IRAS ...
Astronomers have signalled the discovery of a planetary body roaming the Milky Way that is not gravitationally bound to the ...
The classical picture of star and planet formation suggests that a star’s rotational axis and the orbital planes of its planets should be aligned. However, exoplanetary systems have considerable ...
Spring, summer, fall and winter—the seasons on Earth change every few months, around the same time every year. It's easy to take this cycle for granted here on Earth, but not every planet has a ...
