A fresh analysis of Comet 41P/Tuttle-Giacobini-Kresák observations suggests it abruptly reversed its spin after its last ...

First its rotation slowed between March and May 2017, taking 46 hours to complete a spin where it had once taken only 20 hours. This occurred as the comet neared its closest point to the sun, roughly ...

Uncertainty in climate models could mean Earth systems are perilously close to their tipping points, scientists warn.

Last year, astronomers were fascinated by a runaway asteroid passing through our Solar System from somewhere far beyond. It was moving at around 68 kilometres per second, just over double Earth&rsquo ...

A team of geologists found for the first time evidence linking regions of low seismic velocity and the shape of the Earth’s magnetic field.

Last year, astronomers were fascinated by a runaway asteroid passing through our solar system from somewhere far beyond. It was moving at around 68 kilometers per second, just over double Earth's ...

This video showcases a real-world version of the spinning top popularized by Inception, exploring how it works, why it spins, and what makes it fascinating to watch. Trump fact check: All the claims ...

New simulations suggest Mars helps set a 2.4 million-year rhythm in Earth’s orbit that can steer the timing of ice-ages. Scientists recently tested whether a small planet could leave a detectable ...

Jordon Beckler, Ph.D., and Mason Thackston (in the water) test their new device, the Chamber ARray for Observing Sediment Exchanges Long-term or CAROSEL for short. Beneath the surface of lakes and ...

Tucson’s latitude is about 32.1 degrees. So, while the speed at the equator is about 1038 miles/hour at the equator, it is about 879 miles/hour at the latitude of Tucson. For how long have we known ...

A new set of images and measurements of the Milky Way’s central black hole – Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*) – a region in space where gravity is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape. This ...
