China's Three Gorges Dam has effectively changed Earth's axis by nearly an inch since it was built nearly 18 years ago, ...

As just one of all the living creatures on Earth, you're along for the ride as our planet constantly moves in two major ways.

The precise measurement of Saturn's rotation has presented a great challenge to scientists, as different parts of this sweltering ball of hydrogen and helium rotate at different speeds whereas its ...

China’s massive Three Gorges Dam has reportedly caused a subtle but measurable shift in the Earth’s axis and a slight ...

Earth's axial precession is a gyroscopic wobble, analogous to a spinning top, causing its axis of rotation to trace a cone over time. The primary cause of Earth's precession is the gravitational ...

Imagine a massive celestial body colliding with Uranus at high speed; this impact could have 'overturned' Uranus, causing its rotation axis to tilt. Moreover, the colliding body would have to be ...

It is essentially impossible to functionally change the passing of time on Earth; despite this, NASA has announced that a man-made dam in China has done exactly that ...

Richard Gross, of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, calculates that last week's earthquake off Japan's coast may have shortened the length of Earth's days by about 1.26 microseconds and shifted its ...

Precision components are critical for the reliable operation of this unit. This spindle unit with an adjustable axis of rotation is the basis for coordinate measure machines, and should have very ...
