Days Are Getting Slightly Longer As Earth's Spin Is Slowing At An "Unprecedented Rate"
- Sunday March 15, 2026
- Science | Edited by Ritu Singh
Between 2000 and 2020, Earth's day length increased by 1.33 milliseconds per century due to climate-related mass redistribution.

Goodbye To 24-Hour Days? Scientists Predict Earth Will Have 25-Hour-Long Days In The Distant Future
- Monday December 29, 2025
- Science | Edited by Ritu Singh
The rotation is slowing down due to tidal friction from the Moon, lengthening the day by approximately 1.7 milliseconds per century.

Russia Patents Rotating Space Station Concept to Generate Artificial Gravity in Orbit
- Wednesday December 24, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Russia’s Energia rocket company has patented a rotating space station concept designed to generate artificial gravity for astronauts. The system would use spinning habitable modules to simulate half of Earth’s gravity, potentially reducing health risks linked to long missions as the International Space Station nears retirement.

Earth to Spin Faster on July 22 to Make It One of the Shortest Days in Recorded History
- Tuesday July 22, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
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...

Earth’s Spin to Speed Up Briefly, Causing Shorter Days This Summer
- Monday July 14, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Scientists report that Earth will briefly spin faster on July 9, 22, and August 5, shortening those summer days by 1.3 to 1.5 milliseconds. Though undetectable in daily life, this shift offers clues to how lunar gravity and seasonal changes affect planetary dynamics. Experts note that while timekeeping systems like GPS are unaffected, this rare spe...

Blue Origin’s New Shepard NS-29 Mission to Test Lunar Gravity Simulation
- Thursday January 30, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Blue Origin’s New Shepard NS-29 mission, scheduled for Jan. 28, 2025, will simulate lunar gravity during its suborbital flight. The uncrewed mission, launching from West Texas, carries 30 experiments, with 17 contributed by NASA. These experiments aim to advance lunar exploration technologies, including studying moon dust behaviour, fire dynamics...

Earth’s Inner Core Might Be Slowing Down and Changing Shape, New Study Reveals
- Friday December 13, 2024
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Research suggests Earth’s inner core, a metal sphere within the molten outer core, is slowing its spin and reshaping. Seismic wave analyses from earthquakes reveal discrepancies indicating deformation on the core’s surface or changes in rotation. John Vidale, a geophysicist from the University of Southern California, presented these findings, s...
