New research suggests that Earth’s orbital variations—the slow changes in its tilt, axial precession, and shape of its ...

Earth's last ice age ended around 11,700 years ago and a new study predicts the next one should be 10,000 years away. But the researchers say record rates of fossil fuel burning that are increasing ...

Natural cycles in Earth's rotational axis and its orbit around the sun drive climatic changes, and now researchers have ...

Earth's history is a roller-coaster of climate fluctuations, of relative warmth giving way to frozen periods of glaciation before rising up again to the more temperate climes we experience today.

NASA is tracking a bus-sized asteroid zipping past the Earth at nearly 16,000 miles per hour today. The asteroid, known as "2025 DM7," is estimated to be about 42 feet across and soared past our ...

William Hopkins read the third part of his paper “On the phenomena of Precession and Nutation, assuming the Interior of the Earth to be a Heterogeneous Fluid”. The objects of researches of ...

Earth's last ice age ended around 11,700 years ago and a new study predicts the next one should be 10,000 years away. But the researchers say record rates of fossil fuel burning that are ...

Earth naturally cycles between ice ages and warm periods based on three astronomical cycles: precession (Earth’s wobble), obliquity (tilt), and eccentricity (orbit shape). Scientists can now predict ...

The subtle changes in orbit (eccentricity), the planet’s inclination compared to the orbit (obliquity), and the change in the direction of Earth’s rotational axis (precession) were possible ...

Researchers predict the onset of next ice age based on new interpretation of the small changes in Earth’s orbit of the Sun, which lead to massive shifts in the planet’s climate over periods of ...
