Toy gyroscopes can do all kinds of interesting tricks. The most mysterious one, precession, seems to defy gravity. By definition, precession refers to a change in the orientation of the rotational ...

The ebb and flow of Pleistocene glacial cycles is not random; it follows a predictable pattern dictated by the distinct and deterministic influence of Earth’s orbital geometry, according to a new ...

Researchers studying the aftermath of a gargantuan black hole collision may have confirmed a gravitational phenomenon predicted by Albert Einstein a century ago. According to new research published ...

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 ...

Experts will gather Saturday and Sunday at the Westin Mission Hills Resort in Rancho Mirage to examine ancient cultures and theories tied to the Great Year — otherwise known as the "precession of the ...
