As early as 2024, scientists from the US and China discovered that the Earth’s core had slowed down and even stopped moving ...

Can a movement many feet below our feet quietly change the Earth’s rotation? Over 3,000 miles below the ground, the Earth’s ...

If you’re the kind of person who gets a lot done, you’re grateful for every one of the 86,400 seconds that make up a day. On July 9, however, as well as on July 22, and August 5, you won’t get your ...

Climate change is messing with time itself. The melting of polar ice due to global warming is affecting Earth’s rotation and could have an impact on precision timekeeping, according to a paper ...

Earth spun just a bit faster than usual on July 9 and is expected to do so again on July 22 and Aug. 5, according to the website TimeAndDate. Over a millisecond was reportedly shaved off the clock on ...

Scientists anticipate that a “negative leap second” might soon be required, shortening our days by a second, due to polar ice melting. Historically, Earth has seen its rotation decelerate due to tidal ...

Planet Earth is spinning a little faster today — resulting in one of the shortest days of the year. But the change will be so minuscule you won’t even notice. We’re talking even less time than the ...

Earth's rotation is experiencing subtle shifts, leading to shorter days. Today, July 22, 2025, is expected to be 1.34 milliseconds shorter than usual, making it the second-shortest day this year.

Earth rotation and polar motion prediction encompass the estimation and forecasting of key parameters that describe the rotational behaviour of our planet. These predictions are pivotal for ...

A Jan. 27 Facebook post (direct link, archive link) draws a connection between the interior of the Earth and modern climate change. "The inner core is spinning differently then (sic) outer Earth and ...
