Recently, the results of a 250-day experiment to refine a particular motion of our planet were published in the journal ...

Humanity's increased release of greenhouse gasses has raised the planet's temperature, and no one expects that to stop any time soon. As the globe warms, a study shows it is also spinning more slowly.

Scientists have long debated what causes glacial/interglacial cycles, which have occurred most recently at intervals of about 100,000 years. A new study reported in the March 24 issue of Nature finds ...

Scientists predict that the asteroid Apophis may undergo significant surface changes when it makes its close approach to Earth in 2029, according to a new study. The asteroid, named after the Egyptian ...
