High-resolution study of Jurassic mudstones in China’s Sichuan Basin reveals that astronomical cycles control climate, ...

An illustration of Mimas’s ice shell evolution, in which the changes in ice shell thickness (y-axis) lag behind the eccentricity decay (inverted x-axis). Time increases to the right of the plot, while ...

Professor John Chiang of UC Berkeley explains the impact of Earth's axial tilt and orbital eccentricity on global climate. He highlights their influence on seasonal variations, including monsoon ...

A passing star which blew past our solar system nearly 3 million years ago could have altered the Earth’s orbit, researchers found. The study, published last week in the journal The Astrophysical ...

Prepare to look up and reconsider everything you thought you knew about these cosmic wanderers. Comet 3I/ATLAS has shattered records, boasting the highest recorded orbital eccentricity. Its behaviour ...

Breaking all previous records with an eccentricity of over 2.5, interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS is defying expectations and challenging established models of orbital mechanics. (A conceptual image of the ...
