Researchers find that shifts in Earth’s orbit can trigger abrupt climate changes, even in warm periods without ice sheets.

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 ...

Climate can change fast, even when the planet looks stable. Earth has flipped into new patterns within decades in the past.

Precession-driven fluid dynamics concerns the intricate motions arising when a rotating body experiences a slow, conical motion of its spin axis, a phenomenon that is pivotal in both geophysical and ...

Researchers studying the aftermath of a gargantuan black hole collision may have confirmed a gravitational phenomenon predicted by Albert Einstein a century ago. According to new research published ...

An investigation carried out by the astrophysicists questions one of the most interesting findings about the dynamics of the Milky Way in recent years: that the precession, or the wobble in the axis ...
