Up? NASA astronaut Nichole Ayers has shared an incredible image of a sprite, a rare weather phenomenon that's triggered high above the clouds by "intense electrical activity in the thunderstorms below ...

Nichole 'Vapor' Ayers shared the photo of what is known as a Transient Luminous Event (TLE) seen above a thunderstorm over ...

A NASA astronaut captured a fascinating weather phenomenon that still has scientists scratching their heads. Nichole Ayers is ...

Earth’s rotational speed is changing, and we’re more than partly responsible. A gigantic dam, our extraction of groundwater, melting ice sheets and rising sea levels are among the human-linked ...

Once you find one of the Earth, Air, or Water Sprites in Fortnite Chapter 6, just interact with the peaceful critter to pick it up. Doing so will allow you to access a couple of features with the ...

Where to find Earth Sprites in Fortnite Earth Sprites are proving difficult to find, so far since the season has started we've found that they've only been visible in replay footage rather than ...

Climate change is both accelerating and slowing Earth's rotation by melting polar ice, which speeds up the spin, while redistributing water towards the equator, thickening Earth's waistline and ...

But here's something odd. Back in 2005, the same year that the north-south spin axis of the Earth abruptly turned left and accelerated, the Chandler wobble changed phase.

Both by melting the polar ice caps and by pumping huge volumes of water from underground, we are changing the shape, tilt, and spin of Earth. Since the early 1990s, the effect has been astounding ...

Scientists first had a hunch that the inner core was moving in the 1990s, he said. It has taken years to back up that theory with hard evidence, mainly because of the difficulty of studying a mass ...

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.

Think humans play a relatively small role in how Earth moves in space? It turns out we’re changing how our very planet rotates — and it’s affecting the length of our days. For billions of ...
