Slow orbital changes caused pulses in Earth's oxygen cycle 500 million years ago, which spurred explosions of animal life.

Earth’s path around the Sun is not a fixed racetrack but a slowly shifting orbit, and those subtle changes have a long history of reshaping the planet’s climate. As astronomers refine how these ...

The Cambrian Explosion in which life on Earth underwent massive diversification was likely triggered by eccentricities in Earth’s orbit around our Sun. Or so say the authors of a new paper just ...

The Earth's climate has been changing for millions of years under the influence of the gravity of neighboring planets. A new ...

Scientists have called for the designation of a new United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) with the aim to conserve and sustainably use Earth's orbit, and prevent the accumulation of space ...

Satellite megaconstellations are increasingly impacting astronomical observations. Bright satellite streaks are compromising ...

Gravity and motion make time pass faster on Mars than Earth, reshaping navigation, communication, and future crewed missions.

For decades, climate science has focused on what happens on Earth and in our atmosphere, but new research suggests our planet’s long term rhythms are also being nudged by a neighbor. Scientists now ...
