Goodbye To 24-Hour Days? Scientists Predict Earth Will Have 25-Hour-Long Days In The Distant Future
The rotation is slowing down due to tidal friction from the Moon, lengthening the day by approximately 1.7 milliseconds per century.

NASA’s Solar Observatory Sees Two Eclipses in One Day
In a rare celestial event, NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) captured two eclipses on July 25, 2025. First, at 2:45 UTC, the Moon passed between SDO and the Sun, covering about 62% of the solar disk. Just hours later, around 6:30 UTC, Earth itself blocked the Sun entirely from SDO’s perspective. These dual eclipses occurred during SDO’s...

Earth to Spin Faster on July 22 to Make It One of the Shortest Days in Recorded History
On Tuesday, July 22, 2025, Earth will complete its rotation 1.34 milliseconds faster than the usual 24 hours, scientists say. That will make it the second-shortest day ever recorded, just behind July 10, 2025. The trend of shorter days has accelerated since 2020, attributed to factors like the Moon’s position, mass shifts from melting ice, and at...

Scientists Finally Discover How Long a Day Lasts on Uranus
Astronomers confirm Uranus’ rotation period using internal oscillation modeling for the first time. On Uranus, a day just lasts far longer. More precise rotational time observations of the gas giant should enable scientists to plan visits to investigate it. Unlike on Mars and Earth, savage windstorms make it far more difficult to identify the rot...

Vernal Equinox 2025: Date, Time, and the Science Behind the Event
The vernal equinox 2025 is set for March 20 at 09:01 UTC, marking the astronomical start of spring in the Northern Hemisphere and autumn in the Southern Hemisphere. This event occurs due to Earth’s axial tilt aligning with its orbit, resulting in nearly equal hours of daylight and night across the globe. While the equinox does not bring perfectly...

Moon Drifting Away, Earth Could Have 25 Hours In A Day: Study
The study highlights that the Moon is receding from Earth at a rate of approximately 3.8 centimetres per year, which will have a very real impact on the length of days on our planet.

World's Hottest Day Record Broken In 24 Hours, Says Climate Watchdog
The Earth experienced its hottest day in at least 84 years on July 22, with the global average temperature reaching a record high of 17.15 degrees Celsius, according to the European Union's Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S).
