Earth's history is a roller-coaster of climate fluctuations, of relative warmth giving way to frozen periods of glaciation ...

As it orbits its star, it moves close enough at one point to experience extreme heat, similar to Venus’s temperature. But at its farthest point, the planet is nearly twice the distance from Earth to ...

This approach allowed the team to determine how the three orbital factors -- tilt, wobble, and the shape of Earth's orbit ...

How does a planet’s size influence its orbit around its parent star? This is what a recent study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy | Space ...

The ebb and flow of Pleistocene glacial cycles is not random; it follows a predictable pattern dictated by the distinct and deterministic influence of Earth’s orbital geometry, according to a new ...

The different seasons shape our lives and daily routines including the clothing choices we make, what activities we ...

Scientists have long known that Earth’s climate goes through cycles of ice ages and warmer periods. Around 2.5 million years ...

Analysis of Earth's past ice ages, tracked across one million years, has shed new light on the mystery of the planet's ...

The first metal 3D part ever created in orbit has landed on Earth. The sample was produced in ESA's Metal 3D Printer on the ...

This approach allowed the team to determine how the three orbital factors -- tilt, wobble, and the shape of Earth's orbit around the Sun -- interact to drive ice age cycles over the past 900,000 ...

The Earth's next ice age is expected to begin in about 11,000 years -- unless human-caused global warming disrupts natural cycles. That's according to a new study published Thursday in Science ...
