• Staircase pattern discovered in Earth’s rotational deceleration evolution

    Researchers discovered that Earth’s rotational slowing occurs in a staircase pattern rather than a flat drop. This pattern, discovered after intensive geological and astronomical investigation, shows alternating periods of stability and fast change in Earth’s rotation over the last 650 million years.

  • Wobbles in Earth’s rotation explained

    A group of NASA's scientists has managed to answer two important questions about the wobbles observed in our planet's rotation. New insights hold a potential to significantly add to existing knowledge about the Earth's past and future climate….

  • Earth's core is rotating much slower than previously believed

    Scientists believe they have achieved the first accurate estimate of how much faster Earth's core is rotating compared to the rest of the planet. University of Cambridge study has discovered that earlier estimates of one degree quicker each year were wrong. The
