Climate change is messing with time itself. The melting of polar ice due to global warming is affecting Earth’s rotation and could have an impact on precision timekeeping, according to a paper ...

Earth is spinning faster this summer, making the days marginally shorter and attracting the attention of scientists and timekeepers. July 10 was the shortest day of the year so far, lasting 1.36 ...

Earth rotation and polar motion prediction encompass the estimation and forecasting of key parameters that describe the rotational behaviour of our planet. These predictions are pivotal for ...

Climate change is causing the ice masses in Greenland and Antarctica to melt. Water from the polar regions is flowing into the world’s oceans –and especially into the equatorial region. “This means ...

Japanese researchers investigated ancient texts from the 4th to 7th centuries CE to identify five total solar eclipses near the Eastern Mediterranean and improve the model of the Earth's rotation over ...
