There are a total of three days this summer — July 9, July 22 and Aug. 5 — when the moon will be around its furthest distance ...
What is the speed of Earth's rotation? Here's why we don't feel a thing, even though Earth spins at 1,000 mph.
Humphrey said the change to the Earth’s axis isn’t large enough that it would affect daily life. It could change the length of day we experience, but only by milliseconds.
The world’s largest hydroelectric plant is doing more than generating power – it’s ever so slightly changing how the planet ...
Over the past one billion years, Earth's rotation has been slowing down - until now. On August 5th we will see one of the shortest ever days as our planet spins faster for no clear reason ...
