Earth is expected to spin slightly faster on three specific days in July and August: July 9, July 22 and August 5. This could ...

The spinning of Earth’s inner core is slowing down. Is this how it all ends? The movement of Earth’s inner core is slowing. Nobody can say why. (NASA) By Tyrone Beason Staff Writer .

The 2003 disaster film "The Core" imagines that the rotation of Earth's center has stalled, damaging the magnetic field that envelops the planet — and triggering a violent lightning storm that ...

So, what does it mean that Earth’s inner core is spinning slower and slower?. Let’s find out. Scientists started tracking the slowdown in 2008, and this is the first time it’s happened since ...

Scientists have found that Earth is spinning slightly faster than normal, resulting in shorter days, though the reason ...

Update: As reported below, research from January 2023 indicated that the solid metal core of Earth might have reversed its spin, as part of a decades-long pattern of slowing down and speeding up.

Melting ice is slowing Earth's spin and causing changes to its axis, new studies find. The shifts are causing feedback beneath the surface, impacting the planet's molten core.

Earth's rotation is expected to speed up in July and August this year, resulting in shorter days. Specifically, July 9, July ...

Earth's rotation is speeding up, causing days to shorten by a fraction of a second since 2020. Scientists predict that a leap ...

Seismic waves passing through the Earth have revealed that the inner core of our planet is now rotating out-of-sync with the layers above it. Update: As reported below, research from January 2023 ...

Geophysicist John Vidale noticed something striking while tracking the way seismic waves move from Earth's crust through its core. The very center of the planet, a solid ball of iron and nickel ...
