The lightcurve of 2025 MN45 — the fastest-rotating asteroid with a diameter over 500 meters that scientists have ever found. The y-axis shows the asteroid’s brightness, and the x-axis shows its phase, ...

Cosmic filaments are among the largest structures in the Universe, and they rotate. In a new study that stacked thousands of filaments together, they were observed to be rotating along their ...

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 ...

Far from the Sun, Uranus sits tipped on its side, carrying a magnetic system unlike any other planet’s. Its equator tilts ...

Scientists have just plotted changes in Earth's axis through laboratory measurements. To do this, they constructed the world's most stable ring laser. Previously, scientists were only able to track ...
