The cosmos has served up a gift for a group of scientists who have been searching for one of the most elusive phenomena in the night sky. Their study, presented in Science Advances, reports on the ...

I would like your readers to explore an issue with me. The Trump administration has been accused of employing fascism as a way of implementing government policies. Let’s look at the definition of ...

Abstract: Ballistic missile warheads commonly undergo precession during the midcourse phase of their trajectory. The 3-D reconstruction can obtain fine features of precession warhead, which is of ...

A 250-day experiment using a ring laser achieved unprecedented accuracy in measuring Earth's axial wobble (nutation and precession), surpassing previous gyroscope and ring laser technologies by a ...

The extra precession of Mercury—42.9 seconds of arc per century—explained by General Relativity (GR), is the result of a secular addition of 5.02 × 10 −7 rad. at the end of every orbit around the Sun.

Greg Daugherty has worked 25+ years as an editor and writer for major publications and websites. He is also the author of two books. Katie Miller is a consumer financial services expert. She worked ...

This illustration shows how Earth’s spin axis (blue) is tilted from perpendicular, causing it to precess and trace out a circle over about 26,000 years. The brightest star nearest the North Celestial ...

On March 20, 2024, six people lost their lives on the Becuna offshore oil platform following an explosion. According to the Environmental Investigation Agency, employees had previously raised concerns ...

WASHINGTON, May 21 (Reuters) - Astronomers have observed two distant galaxies - both possessing roughly as many stars as our Milky Way - careening toward each other before their inevitable merger at a ...

Regular readers of my column certainly know how to use the Big Dipper to find the North Star (aka Polaris). Some folks believe Polaris is important because it’s the brightest star in the heavens, and ...

"Such a transition to a glacial state in 10,000 years' time is very unlikely to happen, because human emissions of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere have already diverted the climate from its natural ...

The ebb and flow of Pleistocene glacial cycles is not random; it follows a predictable pattern dictated by the distinct and deterministic influence of Earth’s orbital geometry, according to a new ...
