Earth's history is a roller-coaster of climate fluctuations, of relative warmth giving way to frozen periods of glaciation before rising up again to the more temperate climes we experience today.

A pattern of encroaching and retreating ice sheets during and between ice ages has been shown to match certain orbital parameters of Earth around the sun, leading to researchers being able to ...

The key players in these cycles are Earth's obliquity, the precession of its rotational axis and the shape of Earth's orbit around the sun. Breaking space news, the latest updates on rocket ...

Earth naturally cycles between ice ages and warm periods based on three astronomical cycles: precession (Earth’s wobble), obliquity (tilt), and eccentricity (orbit shape). Scientists can now ...

Notably, a 1976 study found geological evidence showing that two of Earth's parameters — obliquity and precession, or changes in Earth's axial tilt and how the axis wobbles around itself ...

These cycles include eccentricity (the shape of the orbit), obliquity (the tilt of the Earth's axis), and precession (the wobble of the axis). Eccentricity affects the distance between the Earth and ...

A new study published last week is giving us a better idea. The research builds on previous hypotheses theorizing that Ice Ages occur on a predictable timeline that relates to the geometry of ...

These cycles, which span thousands to hundreds of thousands of years, are modulated by three primary periodicities: eccentricity, obliquity, and precession. • Eccentricity refers to the shape of the ...

The Dallas Mavericks traveled to face the red-hot Chicago Bulls on Saturday, as the Bulls were seeking their fifth straight win. While the record made the Mavericks appear the better team, Chicago ...

Robert Vilahamn reported that Charlotte Grant will be back and available for selection for Sunday’s Barclays Women’s Super League clash with West Ham United. The defender missed last weekend’s defeat ...
