A major asteroid has entered Earth's orbit, and some scientists and experts believe it is exhibiting behavior consistent with ...
WASHINGTON — Earth’s changing spin is threatening to toy with our sense of time, clocks and computerized society in an unprecedented way — but only for a second. For the first time in history, world ...

What If Earth Orbited Jupiter?
Imagine you had to experience an apocalypse every day. Volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, asteroid showers. Every day would be a ...
Earth takes 24 hours to complete a full rotation in a standard day, equal to exactly 86,400 seconds. July 9 was the first of three days in which a millisecond or more could be shaved off the clock on ...
If you haven’t accomplished as much this summer as you had hoped to, you can blame forces far beyond your control: a few of these dog days, by one measure, are among the shortest you’ve ever lived ...
The Earth is pretty good at keeping its pace. However, variations do happen. And on three separate days this summer—July 9, July 22, and August 5—the Earth will spin notably faster than usual. Of ...
Climate change is causing so much polar ice melt that it’s slowing down Earth’s rotation and — here’s the kicker — it will alter how we measure time in the future. That’s the outrageous conclusion ...
Feel like Thursday was shorter? It might have been, but only by a millisecond. The Earth was predicted to complete its fastest rotations on July 9, July 10, July 22 and August 5, according to a Time ...
A 2003 film titled The Core depicted a scenario in which disasters happened across the Earth because the planet’s core stopped spinning. Could this now be happening in real life? Some people are ...
Because the Earth is doing the work of increasing the Moon's momentum, the Earth's rotation slows down in turn, as its momentum goes to the Moon. To put it another way, as the Moon's orbital momentum ...
DETROIT — The days are indeed getting shorter. Earth had its shortest day ever recorded on June 29, with the day ending 1.59 milliseconds sooner than usual, according to the National Physical ...
