If the Brewers don't trade Freddy Peralta, their 2026 rotation could look an awful lot the way it did in 2025 – and that's a ...

At this point in history, astronomers and engineers who grew up watching "Deep Impact" and "Armageddon," two movies about the ...

By the mid-20th century, scientists already knew with precision that the Earth’s rotation was gradually slowing. In 1972, this knowledge translated into an extraordinary fact: it became the longest ...

NASA images show asteroid 2025 OW spinning at extreme speed, improving its orbit forecast and revealing surface details only ...

Astronomers say they spotted signs of a giant explosion releasing from a star beyond our solar system, one powerful enough to destroy a planet’s atmosphere.

But now—thanks to a study published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters—we can see that, in less than two decades, ...

Earth's rotation is randomly speeding up, and nobody is quite sure why. These speedups, which have occurred several times over the last few years, haven't had any effect on daily life, but they also ...

James O'Donoghue receives funding from the UK Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC). Earth will complete a rotation 1.33 milliseconds earlier than usual on Tuesday, August 5. That makes it ...

Tomorrow might be a shorter day — but you’ll barely be able to tell. Scientists say that Earth will spin a tad faster than usual on Tuesday — shortening the usual 24-hour day by 1.25 to 1.51 ...

August 5th, 2025, is predicted to be one of the shortest days of the year, approximately 1.34 milliseconds shorter than 24 hours. Scientists attribute this phenomenon to changes in the Earth's core ...

The summer is winding down and there might be even less of it this week. As the Earth spins faster this summer, the days are just slightly shorter. But those milliseconds are adding up. Other WRAL Top ...
