The Earth completed its shortest day on record in late June, completing one spin in less than 24 hours and beating the previous record set in 2020.

Earths rotation speed has markedly increased, enough that it shortened a day in June this year.

MBARI has created the new MxD SeaCam in collaboration with DeepSea Power & Light to capture deep-sea life in 4K UHD resolution.

Because the possibility just got slightly more plausible

FAIRFIELD-SUISUN, CALIFORNIA Earths rotation speed slowed ever-so-slightly in recent decades, but the trend is now spinning in the other direction. (Dreamstime/TNS) Earth’s spin is believed to be speeding up As Earth’s rotation speed slowed ever-so-slightly in recent decades, leap seconds were added intermittently to keep clocks up to date. But if a new trend holds, time might need to be turned in the other direction some day soon. Earlier this month, The Daily Telegraph reported that Earth...

As Earth’s rotation speed slowed ever-so-slightly in recent decades, leap seconds were added intermittently to keep clocks up to date. But if a new trend holds, time might need to be turned in the other direction some day soon. Earlier this month, The Daily Telegraph reported that Earth has reached its quickest spin speeds in the past half-century. “It’s quite possible that a negative leap second will be needed if Earth’s rotation rate increases further,” said Peter Whi...
