Earth's climate has swung between ice ages and warmer periods for millions of years, driven by subtle changes in our planet's ...

Researchers have found a razor-thin, rotating string of galaxies inside a massive cosmic filament, revealing unexpected ...

Astronomers have discovered one of the largest rotating structures ever seen in the universe: a razor-thin line of galaxies ...

By trapping huge amounts of water on land, big dams built by humans have slightly changed how Earth spins and where its poles ...

Rockets rarely blast straight upward and keep going in that direction. Instead, most orbital launches curve eastward, leaning ...

Calendars found in homes across the country usually say winter begins on Dec. 21, when in reality the season starts three ...
