In fact, within the next few years the time nerds of the International Earth Rotation Service (IERS), the body that decides when leap seconds should fall, may need to implement an entirely novel ...

In 1851, the French physicist Léon Foucault provided an experimental proof of the Earth’s rotation using a pendulum. Although Foucault is best known for this ingenious experiment, he also made ...

There’s no cause for concern — PT5 will remain at a safe distance of about 1 million miles from Earth, rotating around the secondary asteroid belt associated with the Earth-Moon system.

This monumental structure has sparked debate over whether its massive water reservoir could slow the Earth's rotation.

It will orbit around Earth in a horseshoe shape before reverting back to heliocentric energy, meaning it will rotate around the sun again, like the other planets and NEOs in our galaxy.

Rockström is a research professor in earth system science at University Potsdam, the director of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, and co-founder of the Planetary Guardians.

Earth goes around the Sun in an almost circular orbit. But not everything is lined up perfectly. Here's why it affects how we tell time.

A pair of asteroid dynamics researchers from Universidad Complutense de Madrid Ciudad Universitaria have found that a small asteroid will make one orbit around the Earth starting this month before ...

From September 29 to November 25, Earth will temporarily capture a new mini-moon named asteroid 2024 PT5. This small asteroid, about 10 meters wide and discovered by the Asteroid Terrestrial ...

On Sunday, Sept. 29, Earth captured a new "minimoon" called 2024 PT5. The bus-size asteroid is expected to orbit our planet for 57 days, but is too small to be visible to amateur skywatchers.

Here’s how it works. This month, Earth will grab itself a second moon in the form of the tiny asteroid 2024 PT5. Unlike the moon, Earth's primary companion which has accompanied our planet for ...
