The Milky Way is not the neat, flat pinwheel many of us learned about in school. Fresh data from precision star maps now show ...

When looking at the Earth from afar it appears to be a perfect sphere, but that actually isn't the case. Because Earth isn't uniform on all sides due to land masses that shift and change over time, ...

I/ATLAS may have moved away from Earth as it makes its way out of the solar system, but this interstellar intruder continues ...

A “wobbling” black hole is the most extreme example ever seen, scientists have said. Scientists have watched as two colliding black holes became locked in a twisting motion. It is caused by an effect ...

Using data collected over 18 years of observations, scientists now say that the planet Mars is wobbling. The planet's wiggling results in its poles moving on a regular basis. Earth also has a wobble, ...

Researchers recently discovered that some nuclei wobble on their intermediate axes. Nuclei can be round, like a soccer ball, or oblong, like a football. Others are slightly oblong but misshapen, like ...

The dangerous wobbling of pedestrian bridges could be reduced by using biomechanically inspired models of pedestrian response to bridge motion and a mathematical formula to estimate the critical crowd ...

A year after scientists unveiled the first-ever image of the shadow of the Messier 87 (M87*) black hole, Harvard astrophysicists have made yet another discovery — the crescent-like shadow of that ...

Instead of spinning smoothly, the earth wobbles on its axis. By sighting telescopes on distant fixed stars and carefully measuring their apparent movement, scientists have determined that the North ...

Thanks to a new technique, the sensor, which makes use of the ‘Coriolis effect’, can be made even more compact, e.g. for medical applications. Scientists at the University of Twente’s MESA+ Institute ...
