Astronomers measure the speed at which the solar system is hurtling through space by mapping surrounding galaxies and ...

What would happen if the Moon orbited Earth faster? See the effects on tides, rotation, and life with a hyper-speed satellite ...

They recreate how a camera would see objects traveling at 99.9% of the speed of light, revealing surprising relativistic ...

The Mechanics of Earth's Spin Earth rotates once in about 24 hours with respect to the Sun, but once every 23 hours, 56 ...

Abstract: The measurement of instantaneous rotational speed (IRS) for rotating machinery is essential for ensuring operational stability, enabling predictive maintenance, and guaranteeing the safe ...

Imagine the catastrophic winds of a category 5 hurricane. Now, imagine even faster winds of more than 100 meters per second, ...

A new study suggests that a once-daily atmospheric tidal cycle may be a bigger driver of rapid Venusian winds than previously ...

NASA images show asteroid 2025 OW spinning at extreme speed, improving its orbit forecast and revealing surface details only ...

Abstract: Traditional methods for measuring the rotational speed of downhole equipment require various external power sources. This study introduces a high-performance petal-shaped triboelectric ...

Gaia’s full-sky survey generated a massive database tracking how asteroids reflect light as they rotate. These measurements, called light curves, reveal changes in brightness over time. When ...
