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 th… ...

Millimeter deviations from the expected wobble of the Earth’s axis are giving geophysicists clues to what happens 1,800 miles underground, at the boundary between the Earth’s mantle and its ...

Millimeter deviations from the expected wobble of the Earth's axis are giving geophysicists clues to what happens 1,800 miles underground, at the boundary between the Earth's mantle and its iron core.

Since Kepler's laws of motion dictate that celestial bodies orbit more slowly when farther from the sun, we are now moving at ...

An in-depth study conducted by NASA found that humans are responsible for the increasing wobble detected as Earth spins on its axis. When you think of Earth you may think of an exact sphere, but ...

The Earth had its shortest ever day on June 29, 2022, a scientist said. That day, a Wednesday, was 1.59 milliseconds shorter than ever before.

Wednesday, June 29, 2022, was slightly shorter than any other day by a mere 1.59 milliseconds, all due to a slight "wobble" of the Earth, according to scientists. An average day is 86,400 seconds ...

The cyclic wobble of the Earth on its axis controls the production of a nutrient essential to the health of the ocean, according to a new study in the journal Nature. The discovery of factors that ...
