An international team has made a significant breakthrough in understanding the tectonic evolution of terrestrial planets.

A new study of the red dwarf system TOI-3884 has uncovered rare, persistent spot-crossing signals that reveal unusually detailed information about the star’s magnetic activity and the planet’s orbital ...

Reversing Earth’s rotation would cause immediate catastrophic waves and winds, while long-term climate patterns would shift, ...

At this point in history, astronomers and engineers who grew up watching "Deep Impact" and "Armageddon," two movies about the ...

How many times have you said, “I wish the days were longer”? Well, NASA scientists say the construction of China’s Three ...

Earth is far from a stationary planet; it spins on its axis, orbits the sun, journeys with the solar system around the Milky Way, and moves through the expanding universe in a complex, layered dance ...

We here at Jalopnik are insanely lucky to call what we do work. Obviously, being able to nerd out over cars is what makes it so cool, but arguably just as cool is getting to travel the world to go and ...

As early as 2024, scientists from the US and China discovered that the Earth’s core had slowed down and even stopped moving in relation to the Earth’s crust. But until now, the general public—that’s ...

Earth's rotation is randomly speeding up, and nobody is quite sure why. These speedups, which have occurred several times over the last few years, haven't had any effect on daily life, but they also ...

James O'Donoghue receives funding from the UK Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC). Earth will complete a rotation 1.33 milliseconds earlier than usual on Tuesday, August 5. That makes it ...

A strange shift in Earth's rotation is making our days milliseconds shorter — and scientists are racing to understand why. The days are getting shorter and not just because summer is waning in the ...

The summer is winding down and there might be even less of it this week. As the Earth spins faster this summer, the days are just slightly shorter. But those milliseconds are adding up. Other WRAL Top ...
