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 naturally cycles between ice ages and warm periods based on three astronomical cycles: precession (Earth’s wobble), ...

Toy gyroscopes can do all kinds of interesting tricks. The most mysterious one, precession, seems to defy gravity. By definition, precession refers to a change in the orientation of the rotational ...

When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. The Earth's precession is captured in stunning detail in this image by a veteran ...

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 ...

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 ...

Glacial cyclicity of the Earth has often been considered on 100,000 year timescales, particularly for the Late Pleistocene (~11,700 to 129,000 years ago) swapping between periods of extensive polar ...

A supermassive black hole was caught twisting spacetime, offering the clearest real-world evidence yet for Einstein’s frame-dragging theory.

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 ...
