The planet that appears so steady beneath our feet is, in reality, subtly reorienting itself in space. As ice melts, oceans swell and groundwater is pumped from deep aquifers, the balance of mass on ...

Recent scientific findings have revealed a startling shift in our planet’s equilibrium. The Earth’s axis has tilted by an unprecedented 31.5 inches, a deviation that defies natural expectations and ...

In an eye-opening study, researchers have discovered that human activities, particularly groundwater pumping, are causing a significant shift in Earth's physical orientation. The findings, now making ...

Planet Earth is spinning a little faster today — resulting in one of the shortest days of the year. But the change will be so minuscule you won’t even notice. We’re talking even less time than the ...

Earth tilted, but it had nothing to do with weird space phenomena and everything to do with how people are pumping groundwater and shipping it across the planet, a study found. The findings of a study ...

The Earth has always had a tilt to its axis of 23.5 degrees, which is why we have seasons and daylight saving time. But if you've felt a bit off-balance, you can blame your fellow humans: The pumping ...

For the first time, researchers at ETH Zurich have been able to fully explain the various causes of long-term polar motion in the most comprehensive modeling to date, using AI methods. Their model and ...

Brazil's Lula squares up to Trump, measles cases hit a 33-year high, and more Length: Long Speed: 1.0x If you’re the kind of person who gets a lot done, you’re grateful for every one of the 86,400 ...

Why does the Earth’s tilt create our season? The Earth orbits the Sun, but with a tilt. That tilt is important to those of us on the planet because it creates our seasons. How does that work? What ...

Humanity's increased release of greenhouse gasses has raised the planet's temperature, and no one expects that to stop any time soon. As the globe warms, a study shows it is also spinning more slowly.
