Data from the European Space Agency's Gaia mission has enabled the creation of a detailed catalog of asteroid rotations ...

Earth's axial precession is a gyroscopic wobble, analogous to a spinning top, causing its axis of rotation to trace a cone over time. The primary cause of Earth's precession is the gravitational ...

Observers on Earth might notice that the moon essentially keeps the same side facing our planet as it passes through its orbit. This may lead to the question, does the moon rotate? The answer is yes, ...

AUBURN, Mass., Oct. 14, 2025 – PI, a global leader in precision motion control and air bearing motion systems, offers the ...

China’s massive Three Gorges Dam has reportedly caused a subtle but measurable shift in the Earth’s axis and a slight increase in the length of a day, an effect confirmed by scientists at NASA’s ...

Climate change is altering the Earth to its literal core, new research suggests. As polar and glacial ice melts because of global warming, water that was once concentrated at the top and the bottom of ...

Earth's axial precession, a slow wobble of its rotational axis, is analogous to the gyroscopic motion of a spinning top. The primary cause of Earth's precession is the gravitational influence of the ...
