Mars Satellite Images Reveal Giant 'Kidney Beans,' Sparking Hints of Water and Life
NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter captured images of frozen sand dunes in Mars' northern hemisphere, revealing unique formations halted by carbon dioxide frost during winter. Unlike Earth's desert dunes, which shift with wind, these Martian dunes remain stationary until spring thaw releases their icy grip. Scientists study these features to unders...

Winter Solstice 2024: All About The Shortest Day And Longest Night Of The Year
Winter Solstice 2024: The Earth's tilt of approximately 23.5 degrees on its axis is the primary reason for the occurrence of the winter solstice and the changing seasons.

Excessive Groundwater Extraction Causes Earth's Tilt To Shift By 31.5 Inches, Reveals Study
Earth's tilt, or axial precession, is influenced by the distribution of mass (in this case water) across the planet.

Why Days Get Longer In Summer And Shorter In Winter
The days are getting longer and in Australia, the switch to daylight saving time is almost upon us (for about 70% of the population, anyway).

Aurora Season in September 2024 Could Bring Vibrant Northern Lights Due to Earth's Tilt
Auroras are expected to be more intense around September's equinox due to the Russell-McPherron Effect. The phenomenon occurs when Earth's magnetic field temporarily aligns with the solar wind, allowing charged particles to penetrate and interact with our atmosphere. This interaction causes vibrant Northern Lights, especially during the equinox. Wi...

Saturn Rings Will Disappear Next Year in a Rare Celestial Event
Saturn's rings, one of the most unique features of our solar system, are set to become nearly invisible in March 2025. This rare phenomenon will occur due to Saturn's unique axial tilt, which will align the rings edge-on with Earth's line of sight. The result is a brief period where these majestic rings will be almost unobservable from our planet. ...

Saturn's Rings To 'Disappear' In 2025. Will They Return? Read About It
This happens because the planet rotates on an axis tilted by 26.7 degrees, and the view of its rings from Earth changes with time.

Summer Solstice 2024: June 21 Will Be The First Day Of Summer. Here's Why
The summer solstice happens when the Earth's axial tilt is most inclined towards the Sun, resulting in the Sun reaching its highest position in the sky.

Why Don't We Have A Solar Eclipse Every Month? NASA Video Explains
Total Solar Eclipse Today: According to NASA, the Moon's orbit is slightly tilted relative to the Earth's orbit around the sun.

Earth's Seasons Are Different From Others. Its "Wobbling Tilt" Is A Reason
Spring, summer, fall and winter -- the seasons on Earth change every few months, around the same time every year. It's easy to take this cycle for granted here on Earth, but not every planet has a regular change in seasons.

Groundwater Pumping Tilting Earth's Spin, May Impact Climate, Says Study
The research found that during the study period, most water was redistributed in western North America and northwestern India.

Study Explains Blinking Gamma-Ray Bursts Using Falling Stardust, Unsteady Jets
Astrophysicists have developed the first 3D simulation of the entire evolution of a jet from its birth by a rotating black hole to its emission far from the collapsing star. Simulation explains that as the star collapses, its material falls on the disk that swirls around the black hole. This falling material tilts the disk, and, in turn, tilts the ...

Watch: People Gather At Stonehenge To Celebrate Longest Day Of Year
During Summer Solstice, Earth's North Pole is tilted closest to the Sun, making it appear at its highest point in the sky.

Google Doodle Exhibits Astronomical Events: Winter Solstice, Great Conjunction
Google Doodle observes Winter Solstice, Great Conjunction today. Winter Solstice,the shortest day and the longest night of the year, is a phenomena that occurs when one of the Earth's poles has its maximum tilt away from the Sun.

Summer Solstice 2020: Solstice And Solar Eclipse Coincide In Rare Occasion
Summer Solstice 2020: Traditionally, we know that solstices mark changing of the seasons. It takes place when the sun's zenith is at its farthest from the Equator and the Earth's North Pole tilts towards the sun. At this time the sun also shines directly over the Tropic of Cancer.
