Using asteroseismology, an international research team has discovered a surprising alignment of the rotation axes of stars in open clusters, shedding light on the conditions in which stars are formed ...

Earth's axis — the invisible line around which it spins — is bookended by the north and south poles. The axis tilts, and thus the pole shift, depending on how weight is distributed across Earth's ...

Why are the jets emitted by black holes or neutron stars always concentrated like a laser? Craig CaseTwain Harte, California Astrophysical jets are rapid outflows from a central object that become ...

Earth's axial precession is a gyroscopic wobble, analogous to a spinning top, causing its axis of rotation to trace a cone over time. The primary cause of Earth's precession is the gravitational ...

Earth’s spin is not as steady as it looks. As ice melts and groundwater is pumped from deep aquifers to the surface, the ...

New observations with ESO’s Very Large Telescope (VLT) in Chile have revealed alignments over the largest structures ever discovered in the Universe. A European research team has found that the ...

Moving from 3-axis to 5-axis machining? Yeah, it’s a big jump. And honestly, the hardest part isn’t learning new G-codes or figuring out your CAM software—it’s wrapping your head around how these ...

Climate change has contributed to the shifting of Earth's axis of rotation, according to new research. Earth's geographic north and south poles—where the planet's axis of rotation intersects with its ...
