The Earth's precession is captured in stunning detail in this image by a veteran astrophotographer. In an email to Space.com, night sky photographer Miguel Claro said he developed a new photo ...

Earth's axial precession is a gyroscopic wobble, analogous to a spinning top, causing its axis of rotation to trace a cone over time. The primary cause of Earth's precession is the gravitational ...

Earth wobbles on its axis like a spinning top, a motion called precession. This wobble takes about 26,000 years to complete one full circle. Different stars have served as the North Star throughout ...

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 ...

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 ...

The precession of the equinoxes refers to the precession of Earth's axis of rotation with respect to inertial space. The precession of the equinoxes is caused by the differential gravitational forces ...

Researchers from Skoltech, the University of Warsaw, and the University of Iceland have demonstrated that by optical means it is possible to excite and stir an exciton-polariton condensate, which ...
