A new study indicates the collision of Theia and the Earth about 4.5 billions years ago might have created more than one moon ...

Although only incidental to the Bard’s canon, Earth’s precession is actually crucial to astronomers. We use a coordinate system on the sky that is very much like longitude and latitude.

Precession. Earth wobbles just slightly as it spins on its axis, similarly to when a spinning top begins to slow down. This wobble, known as precession, ...

Earth’s climate has never been static. ... ・Precession (21,000-year cycle): Earth wobbles on its axis, changing the timing of the seasons. These cycles interact in complex ways, ...

As Earth wobbles due to precession, do the seasons change in regard to the months (i.e., 13,000 years from now, will June be winter for the Northern Hemisphere and December summer)?

This article was originally published with the title “ Earth's Precession, Species Procession ” in Scientific American Magazine Vol. 295 No. 6 (December 2006), p. 40 doi:10.1038 ...

But Earth has a massive moon, which pulls on Earth's spin axis and drives it to precess faster. This slightly faster precession prevents it from experiencing spin orbit resonances.

Our Earth behaves much the same, and over time, its rotational axis traces a giant circle among the stars. Rarely does anyone other than astronomers ever think about precession since a full cycle ...

The alternations, interpreted as a signal of Earth's precession cycle, help us estimate the distance between Earth and the moon 2.46 billion years ago. (Image credit: ...

Precession, or the fact that the direction that Earth’s axis points rotates over time. Axial tilt, which changes ever so slightly from its current 23.5° over time. Eccentricity, or how circular ...
