Professor John Chiang of UC Berkeley explains the impact of Earth's axial tilt and orbital eccentricity on global climate. He ...

A multi-institutional team of geoscientists has found evidence that the Earth's rotation slows in a staircase pattern ... dissipation—the dissipation of orbital and rotational energy as heat ...

The $10 billion orbiting observatory will give astronomers a better sense of the near-Earth asteroid 2024 YR4's size and ...

Unlike Earth and Mars, HD 20794 d’s orbit is more elliptical than circular. That orbital pattern is especially interesting to astronomers, because if the planet contains water, it would likely be ...

Unlike other common asteroids, 2024 PT5 has an orbit close to Earth, and it therefore possibly could be brought from Earth itself or from the Moon. It was not gravitationally captured by Earth but ...

Paleoclimate and archaeological evidence tells us that, 11,000-5,000 years ago, the Earth's slow orbital 'wobble' transformed today's Sahara desert to a land covered with vegetation and lakes.
